Maroon and Cream Continue Strong Start With 6-3 Win Against GRCC

ALMA, Mich. - In the third match of the season, the Alma College men's tennis team remains undefeated, beating Grand Rapids Community College 6-3 at the Stone Recreation Center Saturday afternoon. Alma is now 3-0 on the season.

The Scots swept the double action to pick up three points. The top of the singles line-up struggled against a perennially strong GRCC team, losing one, two and three singles before Alex Montoye, Tom Hardin and Brett Seymoure were able to pick up the remaining three points for the 6-3 win.
