No. 3 Emory Men's Tennis Beats No. 13 Johns Hopkins
The No. 3-ranked Emory men's tennis team captured its seventh
straight match Wednesday afternoon, as it recorded a
come-from-behind 6-3 victory over No. 13 Johns Hopkins University
at the Woodruff PE Center. The victory upped the
Eagles’ record to 15-2 on the year.
Emory faced a 2-1 obstacle after doubles with junior Eric
Rothschild and freshman Ayush Bajoria picking up the team’s
lone point at the No. 2 spot with a 9-7 decision over Warren Elgert
and Andrew Wang.
The Eagles bounced back by winning five of the six singles matches
with two of those going into a third set. Junior Dillon
Pottish dropped his opening set at the No. 1 before rallying for a
4-6, 6-2, 7-5 win over Wang, raising his overall record to 26-1,
17-0 during the spring. Junior Chris Goodwin topped Elgert at
No. 2, 7-6, 6-3, raising his spring ledger to 15-2.
Senior Colin Egan bolstered the Emory fortunes with a 6-3, 7-6,
verdict over Andy Hersh at No. 3 while freshman Nick Szczurek came
away with a three-set thriller over Casey Blythe at No. 4, 6-3,
6-7, 7-5. Freshman Simon Lavoie-Perusse was the squad’s
other winner in singles, besting Jeremy Schwartz in three sets at
the No. 5 spot.
Emory returns to action on Friday (Mar. 25) when it hosts Chicago
starting at 2:00 p.m.
