Final Results
Orlando, Florida – The Oberlin College men's tennis team concluded their spring break action this morning with a loss to the University of St. Thomas. The Tommies bested the Yeomen 9-0.
Oberlin found it tough going from the start of this match. St. Thomas (10-1) would race to a 3-0 lead following a sweep of doubles action. No Oberlin pairing could muster more than three games from the Tommies.
“St. Thomas is a solid team, probably the best competition we faced in Orlando other than Div. I Stetson. We didn't bounce back as well as I thought we would after a day off but playing back-to-back doubleheaders really took its toll on us,” noted head coach Adam Shoemaker.
