Men's Tennis Tops Pioneers, Moves To Top Of NWC Standings

PORTLAND - In a battle for Northwest Conference supremacy, the Whitman College men's tennis team trailed after doubles but rallied to top Lewis & Clark 5-2 on Sunday afternoon.

The win gives the Blues (7-3, 7-0 NWC) sole possession of first place in the standings as the lone undefeated conference team. 

The match between conference heavyweights was as advertised. Artem Manov and Charles Rush fell at the two but Lucas Huang and Cameron Yang evened the score with a 6-4 win at third doubles. 

The Pioneers would claim the doubles point, however, as Noah Baker and Alexander Stage fell 6-4 in a tight match to Wade McDermott and Kai Wills.

Whitman responded by winning the first three singles results beginning with dominant sweeps from Stage and Huang on the No. 1 and No. 3 courts, respectively. Yang swept Joey Lyon in a much tighter affair 7-5, 7-5 to put Whitman on the brink of the win.

Manov rallied at the four before falling in three sets, but Braeden Thomas provided the match clincher with his 6-3, 6-2 win at the five.

Whitman returns to action next Saturday, March 15 at Whitworth. Match time is set for 12:00 p.m.
