Tribe Men’s Tennis Falls at Wake Forest, 5-2

WINSTON-SALEM, NC - William and Mary sophomore Colin O’Brien (Dublin, Ireland) recorded the first win of his career over a nationally-ranked opponent, but the Tribe won just one other match on the day, as the College’s men’s tennis team, ranked 51st in the nation, fell to No. 42 Wake Forest, 5-2, tonight at the Wake Forest Indoor Tennis Center

W&M’s record falls to 2-5 with the loss, while the Demon Deacons improve to 3-0.

Wake Forest swept all three doubles matches to clinch the team point and take a 1-0 lead. The closest match was on court one, where O’Brien and Tribe freshman Alex Cojanu (Hallandale, FL) lost to Brett Ross and Derrick Spice, ranked 35th in the nation, 8-6.

O’Brien’s big singles win was not only his first victory over a nationally-ranked player, but also his first career match against a ranked opponent, as he defeated Ross, ranked 68th in the nation, 7-6 (2), 7-6 (4), at No. 3. Rookie Kavi Sud (Allentown, PA) also won his singles match, defeating Joe Bates at No. 6, 6-2, 1-6, 7-6 (4).

W&M returns to action next Sunday, February 13, with a home doubleheader at the McCormack-Nagelsen Tennis Center. The Tribe will host Alabama at 10:00 AM, before taking on James Madison at 4:00 PM.
