The Bethel College men's and women's tennis teams played host to Cornerstone University on Friday afternoon and both teams scored victories in non-conference action. The Bethel men improved to 3-5 on the season with a 7-2 triumph, and the Lady Pilots moved to 5-3 on the season with a 9-0 win.

 

The men's match began with singles where the Pilots took five of six matches. Bethel's singles wins came from Nathan Baker at number one, Stephen Ward at number two, Joe Rallo at number three, Rosten Hamman at number four, and Derrike Kolb at number five. All five matches were won in straight sets. In doubles play, the Pilots won at number one, courtesy of Ward and Caleb Hadden, and at number two from Baker and Alex Tsikouris.

Meanwhile, the Lady Pilots began their match with doubles where they swept all three matches quite handily. Winning at number one was the tandem of Molly O'Grady and Whitney Neuenschwander by the score of 8-0. Jill Focht and Morgan McFarren teamed up to register an 8-4 victory at number two, and Bethany Blodgett and Taylor Atkins combined to win 8-0 at number three. Moving to singles action, the Lady Pilots swept all six matches, dropping just one set along the way. Winners included Blodgett at number one, Focht at number two, Melissa Ramer at number three, McFarren at number four, Taryn Johnson at number five, and Jessica Steensma at number six.

 

"Our guys and girls all played really well today," stated Bethel coach, John Natali. "Everyone in the line-up played an important part in our success today. Nathan Baker and Stephen Ward both had double wins for us in singles and doubles, as did Bethany Blodgett, Jill Focht, and Morgan McFarren for the ladies. All in all, a good day's work for the program."   

 

The Bethel men and women will return to MCC play on Saturday, when they will take on the Goshen College Maple Leafs beginning at 11:00am at Baker Park in Mishawaka.
