Men's Tennis Whitewashes Austin, Falls to Rhodes

The men's tennis team continued their hot streak by winning their fifth straight match and third consecutive over an SCAC opponent by whitewashing Austin College on Friday morning in Memphis, Tennessee, 9-0. The team fell to Rhodes 7-2 later in the day to end the streak.

Austin and Oglethorpe agreed to play the singles matches first and Oglethorpe had clinched the victory by the No. 5 spot where Brad White (6-2, 6-0) was victorious. The Petrels got wins across the board with Felix Mann (6-2, 6-3), Ross Beall (6-1, 6-0), Alex Biffle (6-0, 6-0), Bryan Bailey (6-0, 6-0) and Masen Shreve (6-0, 6-2) each handling their Kangaroo opponents easily.

The Petrels also dominated the doubles competition over the 'Roos with the duos of Beall-Biffle (8-2), Bailey-Sweatman (8-2) and Tim Tanko-Shreve (8-0) cruising to victories.

It was different story against Rhodes, however. The Petrels were swept in the doubles competition and had both Ross Beall and Alex Biffle retire in their singles matches with injuries. The only Petrels able to secure points in the match were Mann (6-3, 6-4) and Bailey (7-6, 6-2) in their singles matches at No.'s 1 and 4 respectively.

The Netters are back in action tomorrow when they square off with two more SCAC opponents in Memphis.
