FORT WAYNE, Ind. - The IPFW men's tennis team earned a big 6-1 win over Eastern Illinois on Saturday at the Pine Ridge Racquet and Fitness Club in Fort Wayne en route to a 3-5 record on the dual season, thus far.
“The guys played excellent tennis today,” said assistant coach Brett Barnett. “It was a great team effort and I am really proud of our performance. This is a result we can build upon going forward.”
With the match starting off in doubles action, the Mastodons picked up wins at Nos. 1 and 3. The tandem of Connor Andrews and Roberto Cabrini won at No. 1, 8-4, while Andres Cobos and Joao Freitas won 8-1 at the No. 3 slot.
In singles play, IPFW continued to play in dominating fashion and managed to only drop one match. Cobos forced a three set-match at the No. 3 spot where he defeated Warren Race of GB, 6-4, 4-6, 6-2. Despite a close first set, Kang took down Michael Sperry at the No. 2 position, 6-4, 6-1, while Freitas had a close second set but won 6-1, 7-5 at No. 5.
