Tigers Take Two More Wins Before a Loss
Wittenberg was beaten for the first time, a 5-2 setback against NAIA scholarship program Olivet Nazarene.
The Wittenberg men's and women's tennis teams haven't had much of a break from Mother Nature in recent days, but hopefully the skies will clear and the weekend's scheduled NCAC action against Ohio Wesleyan and Allegheny will move forward as planned on Saturday. Both matches are to be played at Ohio Wesleyan, both men and women.
Last week, the men got three matches in before the cold and rain swept through Ohio. The Tigers defeated Ohio Dominican on Thursday, 7-0, and pulled out a key North Coast Athletic Conference West Division win over Wabash, 4-3, on Friday night. Then on Saturday, Wittenberg was beaten for the first time, a 5-2 setback against NAIA scholarship program Olivet Nazarene.
The Tiger men have three singles starters with winning records currently. SeniorDuby Lakos (Lynchburg, Va./Heritage) is 6-3 while playing the No. 1 position, sophomore Matt Treblas (Aurora, Ohio/Aurora) is 7-4 at No. 3 and junior Ben Burkam (Delaware, Ohio/Hayes) is 5-4 at No. 4.
But both the men and women have had matches against Capital and Wilmington postponed this week.
