Netters Finish Second
by Bill Dosedlo
The 1985 Hazleton cam
pus tennis team ended a
spectacular' season with a
final redOrd of 9-1. The
team, defending champions
of the 'coveted -- C.C.A.C.
Conference Crown, were run
ners-up this year, second
only to undefeated Ogontz.
The team manager,
Theresa Varga, boosted a
solid singles starting
lineup beginning with the
top seed in the conference
for the last two seasons
Quan Phan. Tony DeFelice
was number two and Con
ference runner-up. Robb
Dickerson and John Jeffrey
were numbers three and
four. Doug Vanderschauw,
the only freshman in the
lineup, turned in at number
five. John Rauthan, nick
named "X", ended the lineup
at number six. Rounding out
the rest of the singles
team were Jim Kulish, Greg
Sunder, and Mike Kradlak.
Manager Varga also pro
duced an excellent doubles
lineup. Returning champions
Phan and DeFelice ranked
second in the Conference
and finished first in their
flight. And the consistency
Sophomore John Jeffrey continues a volley during a recent match
of Jeffrey and Dickerson
rocketed them to a fabulous
10-1 record, with their
only loss being a close
three-set match to Ogontz.
The team suffered its
only loss to Ogontz, but
breezed by everyone else
quite easily. Their closest
match came against Scranton
when the absence of Phan
hampered the team. The mo
tivation and determination
of the players dominated
the talented Scranton line
up.
The team's most impres
sive win came against
Wilkes, when Jeffrey and
Dickerson shined as they
both posted 6-0, 6-0 wins
in singles and a 6-0, 6-0
shutout in doubles.
Contributing to the
team's fabulous season was
their impressive, perfor
mance at the Penn State
University Park Tournament,
in which Hazleton took se
cond out of ten qualifiers.
Top returners next sea
son will be Vanderschauw
and Kulish, and the outlook
seems good for another pro
ductive season.
