Emory Tennis Posts Wins Over No. 16 Redlands
After seeing a six-match win streak snapped on Wednesday, the
No. 4-ranked Emory men’s tennis team got back into the win
column on Thursday with a victory over No. 16 University of the
Redlands. The Eagles raised their spring record to 9-2
following a 7-2 triumph over the Bulldogs who slipped to
4-4.
After dropping the opening doubles point, Emory bounced back to
capture the next two matches. The No. 3 tandem of Dillon
Pottish and Colin Egan even things up with a 9-7 decision over
Connor Hyde and Mark Bloom before the No. 1 duo Chris Goodwin and
Will Humphreys gave the Eagles a lead they would not surrender when
they came away with a 9-7 verdict over Cameron Spearman and Anish
Nanda, upping their spring record to 9-2.
Goodwin was the first Emory player to register a win in singles as
he bettered Nanda by a 6-2, 6-4 score at the No. 2 spot. Egan
saw his record go to 6-2 at No. 3 when he notched a 6-2, 6-2 win
over Hyde. Freshman Nick Sczurek remained undefeated in
singles this spring as he finished off Hammond, 6-3, 7-6, at No.
4. Other singles winners for Emory included Dillon Pottish at
No. 1 and Simon Lavoie-Perusse at No. 5.
Emory returns to action on Friday (Mar. 11) when it plays Vassar in
an opening-round match of the Stag-Hen Invitational hosted by
Claremont-Mudd Scripps.
