Tribe Men's Tennis Falls to VCU, 4-0, in CAA Championship

RICHMOND, VA - William and Mary’s men’s tennis team, ranked 46th in the nation, fell to No. 17 Virginia Commonwealth, 4-0, this afternoon in the Colonial Athletic Association final match at Byrd Park. The loss drops W&M’s record to 16-9, while the Rams improve to 24-3.

VCU took the early lead by winning the doubles point and clinched the match with three straight-set singles wins. At No. 2 doubles, the Tribe’s team of junior Geoff Russell (Phoenix, AZ) and sophomore Alex Fish (Scituate, MA) lost to Mats Noris/Marton Ott, 8-5, while sophomores Jeff Kader (Geneva, OH) and Zack Malmgren (Cibalo, TX) fell in a close match at No. 3 to Daniel Casquero and Francesc Lleal, 9-8 (4).

The three completed singles matches all ended at nearly the same time, with Kader falling to No. 73 Ott, 6-1, 6-4, freshman Stephen Ward (Douglaston, NY) losing to Lleal, 6-3, 6-1, and Malmgren dropping his match to Norin, 6-3, 6-0.

The Tribe must now wait until May 1, when it learns if it has earned an at-large berth in the NCAA Tournament.
