Men's Tennis Claims Second Straight NWC Tournament Title

WALLA WALLA, Wash. – The Whitman College men's tennis team left no doubt in securing its second straight Northwest Conference tournament championship, rolling past Whitworth 4-0 in Saturday morning's title match at the Whitman Tennis Courts.

Playing the final to decision, the Blues used a strong start in doubles and straight-set wins in singles to clinch the automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament. The field of 44 will be announced on Monday, May 5 at 12:30 p.m. ET (9:30 a.m. PT).

Whitman grabbed the early edge after sweeping to earn the doubles point. The first win came at No. 3, where Guillermo Rodriguez and Hanri Luo blanked Matthew Morrison and Ryan Ashley 6-0. Moments later, the top team of Niklas Jensen and Alexander Stage closed out a 6-2 victory over Matt Froslan and Henry Preacher to secure the point.

Whitman wasted little time finishing the job in singles. Jensen, Rush and Stage each breezed by their opponents in straight sets to claim the title as the teams celebrated with the trophy and each other.

Whitman improved to 17-5 with the win, while Whitworth closed its season at 13-7.
