Narrow Loss to Tiffin, 5-4
TIFFIN, Ohio - Alma College men's tennis dropped just its second match of the season Saturday, 5-4 to Tiffin University. The Scots are now 4-2 on the season and 0-1 in MIAA action.
"We played very strong today, but the three-set matches were tough for us," said head coach Chris Sandro. "We picked up two of three matches in doubles, but singles was more difficult for us."
Alma picked up wins at two and three doubles while singles competition proved much stiffer, picking up just two of six victories. The match came down to a three-set thriller that Tiffin's Ryan Toporowsky won 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 against Brett Seymoure in the heartbreaker at six singles.
