Final Results

Oberlin, Ohio – The Oberlin College men's tennis team, back in action this afternoon after a week of rest, defeated visiting Washington and Jefferson College 9-0 in John W. Heisman Field House.

The Yeomen cruised through doubles action earning easy wins in all three spots.  Eliot Heaton and Peder Davis stepped into replace OC's top duo of Ben Godlove and Ben Turchin who were absent from the line up today and earned an 8-2 win over the Presidents' Christopher Faulk and Brice Manin.

Joe Leffler and Sam Towne snapped a three match skid in the second slot defeating Eric Sillard and Cameron Sell, 8-3. Sergio Sanchez and William Broderick, working together for the first time since September, bested Washington and Jefferson's third pairing 8-0.

“This was a good match for us today. We had guys step up and play well in new positions. It's good to see that we can remain competitive without Godlove and Turchin in the lineup,” said head coach Adam Shoemaker

The Yeomen continued to dominate through singles action, only one Oberlin netter dropped more than four games in their two sets.

Sanchez, a senior from Autsin, Texas hitting in the No. 5 spot, earned his first win of the season defeating Sell 6-0 in the first set before Sell retired in the second.

The Presidents' Justin Mondonk was no match for Broderick at No. 6, the Yeomen won in straights sets 6-0, 6-0.

Today's top Yeomen, Heaton, had little to do in his match as Faulk would retire with the first set at 3-1 in favor of the OC No. 1.

Oberlin (3-7) would earn nice wins at the No. 2, 3, 4 positions. Towne shutdown Manin 6-1, 6-4; Leffler earned a 6-2, 6-1 win over David Dubois; and Peder Davis cruised to identical straight set wins over Sillard, 6-1, 6-1.

“We are looking to continue to improve with our match against B-W and then our spring trip to Hilton Head, S. C. before we get into conference play,” commented Shoemaker.

The Oberlin College men's tennis squad is back in action next Saturday, March 20 when they entertain Baldwin-Wallace College at 10:00 a.m. in John W. Heisman Field House.
