Tennis Drops Weslyan

The men's team played their best match of the season against perennial power West Virginia Wesleyan College. The team started slow dropping two of three doubles winning at #1. Despite facing adversity, the Golden Eagles flourished picking up five of six singles matches. Sam Humphrey evened the score up at 2-2 winning 6-0, 6-0 at #2. Shortly after, Wesleyan went ahead 3-2 with a win at #4. Three matches then went to the deciding third set. University of Charleston players Matt Sherba (#1), reigning WVIAC Player of the Week James Gammell (#3) and Jake Lorenze (#5) all won to put the match away dropping Wesleyan 5-3 (6-3). With the win, the Golden Eagles improve their record to 7-3. Coach Santen said, "I give a big part of this victory to Tim Mayo our conditioning coach who has put our players in top physical shape."
