Men's Tennis Remains Perfect In NWC With Win At Linfield

McMINNVILLE, Ore. - The Whitman College men's tennis team kept its perfect start to the Northwest Conference season going, topping Linfield 6-3 on Sunday at the Rutschman Fieldhouse.

Doubles play saw the Blues (4-7, 3-0 NWC) win two of the three matches to hold the lead heading to singles play. The victories came on the No. 2 and No. 3 courts as Cameron Yang and Lucas Huang won 8-5 at the two and Noah Baker and Braeden Thomas handled their Wildcat opponent 8-5 at the three.

Singles action nearly saw Linfield even the match score on the No. 3 court, but Artem Manov rallied to keep the Blues in a lead with a 1-6, 6-2, 6-2 win over Alexander Rosenquist.

The match-clincher came with Luca Viarengo's win at fifth singles. Viarengo breezed past Cody Pikar 6-1, 6-1 and Alejandro Raffo later topped Matous Young 6-3, 6-2 at the six to complete the individual wins for the Blues.

Next up for the Blues is a six-day, seven-match California road trip which kicks off at Occidental College on Wednesday, March 13 at 9:30 a.m.
