The Bethel College men's and women's tennis teams played host to the Manchester College Spartans on Thursday afternoon and both squads came away with wins by the identical scores of 8-1.

 

The men's action began with singles play where the Pilots took five of six matches. Leading the way at number one singles was Alex Tsikouris with a 6-2, 7-5 victory. Other Bethel winners included Stephen Ward at number two, Rafael Barreto at number four, Derrike Kolb at number five, and Tim Long at number six. The Pilots finished the day's play by sweeping all three doubles positions. Winning at number one was Ward and Caleb Hadden, followed by Tsikouris and Nathan Baker at number two, and the duo of Long and Trent Stout at number three.

In women's play, the match began with doubles where the Lady Pilots swept all three matches. Winning at number one was Molly O'Grady and Whitney Neuenschwander, at number two was Sarah Cressman and Morgan McFarren, and at number three was the team of Bethany Blodgett and Jill Focht. In singles action, the Lady Pilots won five of six matches led by O'Grady at number one singles. Other winners included Neuenschwander at number two, Blodgett at number four, Melissa Ramer at number five, and Taryn Johnson at number six.    

 

"It certainly was great to see our senior men play well and close out their home careers with a win today," stated Bethel coach, John Natali. "And our women's team performed very well today as well." 

 

The Bethel men and women will wrap-up a busy week of tennis on Saturday, April 21st, when they will host Cedarville University. The home match for the Pilots will take place at Baker Park in Mishawaka with both men's and women's action beginning at 12:00pm.
