Emory Men's Tennis Falls To West Florida
The Emory University men’s tennis team, ranked No. 3 in
Division III, closed out its participation in the Small College
Blue & Gray Invitational Friday afternoon with an 8-1 loss to
the University of West Florida. The loss evened the
Eagles’ record at 7-7 while the Argos, ranked No. 7 among
Division II programs, upped their slate to 10-7. Serving as
host of the Invitational was Auburn-Montgomery.
Freshman Noah Simonson picked up Emory’s lone point in the
match with a 6-4, 6-2 triumph over Patrick Bateman at No. 5
singles.
Emory finished the Invitational with a mark of 0-3. On
Thursday, the Eagles were topped by Valdosta State, ranked No. 3 in
Division II, by an 8-1 margin, and then came out on the short end
of a 5-2 verdict to AUM. Emory doubles accounted for both of
the team’s points in that contest with the tandem of
sophomore of Chris Goodwin and senior David Caplan prevailing at
the No. 1 spot, while senior Chris Jordan and junior Alex Chun were
victorious at No. 2.
Emory’s next action takes place on Thursday, April 8, when it
hosts the University of the South starting at 3:00 p.m.
