Hard work for men's tennis
pays off

Despite Erie's unpredictable
weather, the men's tennis team
has been on the move.
The Lions warmed up with a
match against Thiel College on
April 9, played at The Pennbriar
Athletic Club. Behrend won
easily, 9-0, losing only 5 games
throughout the entire match.
Sophomore Jonathan Chase
won 6-0,6-0 in second singles.
"There really is no such thing
as an easy match," he commented
when being asked about his easy
victories. "Whether you're
winning or losing, it's still a
challenge to mentally stay in the
match."
After Bchrend’s match with
Thiel, they set out the very next
day to Wayncsburg College.
This match proved to be as
profitable as the day before.
Behrend once again swept the
courts with a 9-0 victory.
"It's getting easier as we go
along, the nerves and pre-game
anxiety arc starting to calm
down," commented freshman Joe
Dess.

These two victories mentally
prepared the men's tennis team
for the tough weekend ahead.
Bchrcnd hosted the Super Sport!
tournament, which involved
teams from Alfred University,
Westminster, and Allegheny
College.
The teams were arranged in two
brackets, with PSB playing
Alfred first round. They played
four singles and one doubles
match. Bchrcnd beat Alfred 4-1,
with Craig Edwards losing in a
tough three-set match.
"I just couldn't get into it
mentally," commented Edwards
when asked about the match.
Meanwhile, Allegheny was
easily defeating Westminster 4-1,
leaving PSB in the finals versus
Allegheny.
Because Bchrend had such a
quick match against Alfred, the
men had the opportunity to relax
and watch Allegheny battle it out
with Westminster.
As a result, Behrend was ready
to go, and Chase proved it by
taking Allegheny's #2 to the third
set and coming out victorious.
Chase showed the same
dedication in his doubles match

with partner Eric Good. They
won at first doubles with a score
of 6-2, 3-6,6-4.
The excitement continued with
Dess losing in a three set
tiebreaker 6-4, 4-6, 7-6. Captain
Chuck Keenan brought the match
to a close when he was defeated
in a three hour, three set
tiebreaker.
"I consider this a personal
victory to play as well as I did,
under the circumstances,"
remarked Keenan.
The circumstances being rain
delays and a mid-match move to
Pcnnbriar. Allegheny won the
overall tourney by beating PSB
3-2.
Plaques were handed out for the
All-Tournament team, an award
presented to the most valuable
players, chosen by the coaches.
Bchrend winners were
sophomores Good and Chase.
It appears that all of the hard
work is beginning to pay off for
men's tennis.
"We're really beginning to gel
as a team, which gives us an
advantage before we even step
onto the court," commented
Good.
