WILLIAMSTOWN,
MA. – Williams men's tennis (8-3, 4-1)
defeated the visiting Colby mules an 8-1 loss this afternoon (9-6,
3-5). The Ephs are in
the midst of a packed schedule, playing three consecutive matches
and four in five days beginning yesterday versus
Bowdoin.
“We knew looking at the schedule before
the season started that this was going to be a difficult stretch
for us,” commented Williams' head coach Dave
Donn. “ It's important for us to be
focused for every match, and we are off to a good start so
far.”
Williams set the tone early, taking a 2-1
advantage in doubles play. Bret Thacher and
Dicken Chaplin fell in an 8-5 result at court one at the hands of
Bryan Brown and Alex Chin, while Nick Lebedoff and Will Petrie won
in an 8-5 result at court two. Jeremy Weinberger and
Kevin Shallcross continued the positive result at court three,
taking the match 8-4.
The Ephs were
dominant in singles play, taking all six matches in routine
straight set wins.
While the top half of the lineup remained intact, Donn shifted up
the bottom half.
Karol Furmaga moved up from the sixth spot to court five, winning
in a 6-2, 6-2 result over Phillip Zunshine. Ari
Binder cruised in a 6-0 second set to take his match in two, while
Bret Thacher relinquished only one game for a 6-0, 6-1 victory over
Robbie Yee.
