MEN'S TENNIS: Scots Keep It Rolling, Hold on to 6-3 Win Over Saint Joe's

Mar. 5, 2008

Alma, Mi.- After winning the first four singles contests, the Scots (5-2) saw the Puma of Saint Joseph's College rally to bring the score to 4-3 with the #1 and #2 doubles matches yet to be played. Fortunately for the Scots, Chris Noel (Wyandotte/Roosevelt) and Kace Lovejoy (Traverse City/West) rallied back 2-7 to take the 9-8 win in the number one doubles and Josh Sanders (Warren/Fitzgerald) and Tom Hardin (Traverse City/Central) battled out tough contest and took the number two doubles 8-5.

Dan Fraser (Lexington-Crosswell/Lexington), Alex Montoye (Mt. Pleasant), Hardin and Lovejoy were the singles winners for the Scots.

Head Coach Chris Sandro, relieved with the win, commented, "It would have been nice to get number five a little sooner, but a win is a win, and we will take it. I was proud to see our guys battle and get those two doubles at the end to bring it home for us."

The Scots stay at home this Saturday, Mar. 8 to host Manchester College.
