Men's Tennis Advances to CAA Semifinals

Newport News, Va. - The No. 36 William and Mary men’s tennis team advanced to the semifinals of the Colonial Athletic Association Championship with a 4-0 victory over No. 6-seeded James Madison on Friday afternoon at the Huntington Park Tennis Center. The No. 3-seeded Tribe claimed the doubles point before notching singles wins at the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 6 positions to secure the victory. The Tribe improved to 16-10 overall this season.

W&M started off by claiming the No. 2 and No. 3 doubles slots to take the opening point of the contest. Sophomore Dominic Pagon and freshman Richard Wardell gave W&M the early cushion with an 8-3 victory at No. 2 over Carlin Campbell and Brian Clay. The tandem of junior Kavi Sud and sophomore Alex Zuck iced the point with an 8-5 win at the No. 3 slot, downing John Snead and Brian Rubenstein.

Sophomore Marwan Ramadan made quick work of Snead at the No. 2 singles position to extend the College’s lead to 2-0. Ramadan dropped only one game in a 6-1, 6-0 victory. Freshman Keziel Juneau, playing his first match at the No. 1 slot, pushed the Tribe one win closer with a victory at the top slot. He disposed of Jesse Tarr, 6-2, 6-3. Wardell finished off the Dukes with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Rubenstein at the No. 6 slot.

W&M will face No. 2-seeded and 32nd-ranked Old Dominion in the semifinals on Saturday, April 21, at 1 p.m. The College won a five-hour marathon against the Monarchs in Williamsburg, 4-3, on April 3. The other semifinal match will be No. 24 VCU against No. 50 Georgia State and is also slated for 1 p.m. The winners will meet in the championship match at 1 p.m. on Sunday, April 22.
