Men's Tennis Takes Two From LC State

WALLA WALLA, Wash. - The Whitman College men's tennis team closed out the regular season with a bang, topping Lewis-Clark State in a pair of matches played on Sunday at both the Whitman Tennis Courts and Bratton Indoor Tennis Center. Both matches were played concurrently and saw Whitman win 6-3 and 5-4.

Whitman's top flight players played together in one contest that saw the Blues win two of three doubles before closing out the win after the first three singles results came in.

With Whitman ahead by a point to start singles, Cameron Yang won at the one after his opponent was forced to withdraw. Diego Guzman then put his team on the brink of the win with a solid 6-4, 6-2 straight-set victory at the six before Artem Manov beat Austin Swing on the No. 3 court 6-0, 4-6, 6-2 for the match clincher.

The other concurrent match saw Gunnar Woller provide the match clincher late in singles play to help the Blues pull out the win. With his team leading 4-3, he rallied from a set down on the No. 3 court to beat Juan Pablo Naranjo 3-6, 7-6(4), 6-4 in an exciting finish.

Whitman led by a point after winning two of three doubles matches and had taken a two-point lead after Charles Boyden swept Joel Barba 6-0, 6-1 at the five. The next two results came in favorably for the Warriors, but Chris O'Farrill came through with a first-set tiebreak win en route to a 7-6(3), 6-3 sweep on the No. 6 court to break the tie.

Woller then worked his magic at third singles to clinch the win.

Whitman now sets its sights on next weekend's Northwest Conference Tournament where it will enter as the No. 2 seed and face Lewis & Clark in one semifinal.
