ALMA MEN'S TENNIS IS COMPETITIVE AGAINST YEARLY LEAGUE POWER KALAMAZOO

The Alma College men's tennis team gave the #23 ranked team in the country a scare for a while, but in the long run, MIAA powerhouse, Kalamazoo came out on top 7-2.  The Scots split the first four singles matches to come off, getting big wins at #3 singles from freshman, Mark Stuart, and at #4 singles from sophomore Zach Kerr.  That would be as close as Alma would get, however, as Kalamazoo won the final two tightly contested singles matches to take a 4-2 lead, and then proceeded to sweep the doubles.  The loss drops the Scots to 11-6 on the year and 1-2 in the MIAA.  They next play host to Albion College on Thursday, April 23rd.
