Emory Men's Tennis Captures ITA National Indoor Championships
The No. 4-ranked Emory men's tennis team won the ITA National
Indoor Championships for the second time in the past three years on
Sunday with a victory over No. 6-ranked Washington
University. The Eagles raised their dual record this spring
to 7-1 following a 6-3 triumph over the Bears who fell to 4-2.
Emory had to battle back from a 2-0 deficit as the Bears captured
the first two doubles points. The Eagles’ No. 1 duo of
juniors Chris Goodwin and Will Humphreys earned the team’s
initial point of the match with an 8-5 decision Isaac Stein and Max
Woods, raising their record this spring to 7-1.
Emory regained control of the match with its victories in five of
the six matches propelling it to its fourth Indoor title in 11
years. Junior Dillon Pottish remained undefeated in the
spring, raising his record to 8-0, following a 6-4, 6-2 victory
over Stein at the No. 1 spot. At No. 2, junior Chris Goodwin
boosted his spring slate to 7-1 with a fine 6-1, 7-5, effort over
Woods. Senior Colin Egan turned in a three-set win at
No. 3, topping Adam Putterman, 7-6, 6-7, 6-3, while freshman Nick
Szczurek came through with a 6-3, 6-3 verdict over Gary Parizher at
No.4. Simon LaPerusse was the other singles winner for Emory,
notching a 6-4, 3-6, 10-8 decision over Bryan Haywood at the No. 5
position.
