Men's Tennis Falls At Oxy, 6-1

LOS ANGELES — The Whitman College men's tennis team closed its Southern California trip with a 6-1 loss to Occidental College on Saturday at McKinnon Family Tennis Center.

The Blues (10-4) got an early boost in doubles when Alexander Stage and Niklas Jensen claimed a 7-5 win at No. 1 doubles over Ronald Chen and Eugen Andres. But the doubles point went to Occidental who took the other two doubles matches to secure the opening point and carry momentum into singles.

Whitman's only team point came at No. 5 singles, where Hanri Luo held off Konan Sahara 6-4, 7-5. Luo's straight-set victory stood as the Blues' lone singles win on a day when Occidental captured the other five matches.

At No. 1 singles, Tate Ransom outlasted Stage in a tight three-set battle, winning 6-0, 1-6, 7-6 and taking the deciding tiebreaker 7-2. Occidental also picked up wins from Ronald Chen at No. 2, Jack Yurich at No. 3, Benjamin Burrows at No. 4 and Mason Hart at No. 6.

Singles play did see the Blues push three matches to a third set, but all resulted in losses as Oxy walked away with the win.

The Blues now return home for the home stretch of Northwest Conference play. First up is Linfield on Saturday March 28 at 11:00 p.m.
