Men’s tennis crushes W&J
and Thiel, 9-0

The Collegian
With the PSB men’s tennis
season coming to a close, they
have a lot of time to concentrate
on their last few matches.
Their concentration has
brought them great results. In
the past week, Behrend has
managed to dominate both Thiel
College and Washington &
Jefferson University before

our best, knowing that every point we win at # 6 is just as
important as at # /."
falling to Hiram
"The end of the season is
always the best,” said sophomore
Craig Edwards. "It’s when you
can put together everything
you've learned."
The men's tennis team has put
things together very well. When
they played Thiel on April 14,
Penn State didn't lose a set. This
easy 9-0 victory came as no
surprise, since this was the
team's third meeting with Thiel
College.

before, I think our team has an
edge before we step onto the
court," remarked freshman Karl
Van Tassel.
The very next day, the Lions
set out to the Washington &
Jefferson tennis courts. The
Lions' confidence was shaky to
begin with because the W & J
courts are made of a carpet-like
surface than many of the Behrend
players had never seen.
"We attempted to prepare for
the surface by practicing at
Asbury Park," commented senior
Chuck Keenan. "The match, to
our relief, held no surprises."
It was Behrend, in fact, that
surprised W&J with a crushing
9-0 defeat. All matches were
won in straight sets.
"I think one of the best things
about our team is that we all try
our best," remarked Joe Dess,
"knowing that every point we
win at # 6 is just as important as
at# 1."
However, with a sport like
Page 11
tennis, it is quality that really
counts and this is where the
men's team ran into trouble with
Hiram by losing 8-1.
Although many matches were
close, with two matches in
tiebreakers and two ending with a
6-4 set score, the Lions only
managed to win one match with
Eric Good at # 1 singles defeating
Dave Lynch, 6-1, 3-6,6-1.
"We're still a young team, still
developing," commented Good

when asked about his match
compared to his teammates. "By
this time next year, we'll be a lot
tougher."
So far this season, the men’s
tennis has a record of seven wins
and five losses. With such a
young team, next season's record
should be even more impressive.

tennis team this Sunday
when they host a tri
match.
