Joe Leffler and
Sam Towne gutted out a 9-8 (7-5) over Wooster's Brad Palanski and Matt Mandell.

Oberlin's
Sergio Sanchez snapped a three-match skid with his win over Alex Turner in the No. 5 singles slot. Sanchez put together two good sets of tennis getting past Turner 6-3, 6-1.
“We played some good tennis today but it was disappointing to leave without a win. We could have had the match if a point or two fall our way in a couple of the matches. Turchin lost a tough one at No. 2 and our No. 1 doubles just missed out on providing a 2-1 advantage heading into singles,” commented head coach Adam Shoemaker.
Leffler earned a win over Wooster's No. 3 Arenstein using a 6-3 first set before the Fighting Scot would retire from the match.
The Yeomen are back in action on Friday and Saturday, April 9-10 when they will be participating in the Great Lakes College Association Tournament. The tournament draw has not been announced.
