WINTER PARK, Fla. (March 9, 2022) – The Rollins men's tennis team won its third straight match on Wednesday, upsetting 20th-ranked Texas – Tyler. The win moves the Tars to 5-3 on the year, while the Patriots fall to 2-6.
COACH'S QUOTES:
"I think today showed some good stick-to-itiveness from our group," Head Coach
Jay Friedman said after the win. "After jumping out to a 3-0 lead behind a really solid performance from Mikkel and Moritz we hit a three-hour rain and lightning delay. Coming out of that with more impending weather Efe was able to come back with great focus and break right off the bat to give us the clinch."
HOW IT HAPPENED:
Doubles
Singles
- Stenzer scored the first singles point with a win over Yudai Watanabe on court five, 6-1, 6-4.
