Men's Tennis Split in Dual Match

The Beaver's were back in action this past weekend with a dual match with Cornell College and Bethany Luther in Storm Lake. The first match with Cornell prove to be a tough test as they won 9-0. Cornell is a very solid team and even though we were down a player as Derrick Young, who is a student asst. coach for our men's basketball team who made it to the NCAA sweat 16 tournament. We made some adjustments to our lineup and still played a respectable match with Cornell. Our doubles scores and play was much closer than the match indicated.

Our second match was with Bethany Luther(Minn.) and the Beaver's triumphed with a 8-1 victory! Our doubles teams of #1 Aaron Wigg and Tim Coleman got the momentum going first with a solid net game. #2 Ron Muhammad and Andrew Humprey stepped up for our second doubles win and #3 Ben Stone and Jeff Nichols proved themselves to our third doubles win to start out the match. Singles victory for the Beavers were led by captain Aaron Wigg with a hard fought victory at #1 singles. Ben Stone improved his singles record with a solid baseline performance.#3 Ron Muhammad lost a close match after being up 5-2 in the second set. #4 Andrew Humphrey overpowered his opponent with his win. #5 Tim Coleman got his big serve rolling to out-finished his opponent in a close match. #6 Jeff Nichols out played his opponent with a consistent baseline game.

Overall, our team keeps improving with each match they play. We will have our spring break coming up next week. The Beaver's will be on the road for the most part of April.

Next match will be Wednesday, March 26 against Central College in Ft. Dodge at 4pm.
