Men's Tennis Falls In NWC Tournament Semifinals

NEWBERG, Ore. - The Whitman College men's tennis team played Pacific to an epic contest in the opening round of the Northwest Conference Tournament but came up short in a 5-4 loss to the Boxers on Saturday afternoon at the Multi-Use Facility.

The Blues looked to be in good shape after winning two of the three doubles matches. After falling on the No. 1 court, the Blues earned solid wins at the two and three. Harshvardhan Chopra and Lucas Huang won 8-4 at second doubles with Charles Rush and Anton Manov topping Aidan Rooney and Kolby Murata at the three, 8-3.

Singles play saw three tiebreakers including the final match played on the No. 6 court. Lucas Huang and Alejandro Raffo were victorious at the three and five, respectively. Raffo was able to rally from a set down to beat Rooney 2-6, 6-2, 7-5 as both results helped the Blues push the match to a deciding contest at sixth singles.

At the six, Luca Viarengo won the opening set via a tiebreaker, but came up short in a 6-7 (10-5), 6-2, 7-5 loss to Benjamin Dubois as the Boxers advanced the championship match.
