Tribe Men’s Tennis Defeats James Madison, 5-2

WILLIAMSBURG, VA - William and Mary’s men’s tennis team, ranked 63rd in the nation, defeated James Madison, 5-2, this evening at the College’s McCormack-Nagelsen Tennis Center.

The victory improves the Tribe’s record to 3-6 overall and 1-0 in Colonial Athletic Association play. The Dukes drop to 1-4 (1-2 CAA).

The Tribe quickly swept through the doubles matches, starting with sophomore Colin O’Brien (Dublin, Ireland) and freshman Alex Cojanu (Hallandale, FL) winning the top match over David Emery and Jesse Tarr, 8-2. Seniors Alex Fish (Scituate, MA) and Jeff Kader (Geneva, OH) were next off with an 8-2 win at No. 3 over Brian Clay and Don Davidson. Senior Sean Kelleher (Forty Fort, PA) and freshman Kavi Sud (Allentown, PA) finished with an 8-3 win over Bob Allensworth and Carlin Campbell at No. 2.

W&M soon took a 3-0 lead, easily winning the singles matches on courts three and six. O’Brien was finished first, shutting out Campbell, 6-0, 6-0, at No. 3. He was followed by Fish with a 6-0, 6-1 win at No. 6 over Davidson. The Dukes scored their first point when W&M’s Kelleher, who was leading, 6-3, 4-1, was forced to retire his match on court two against Tarr. Freshman Matt Rubenstein (East Hampton, NY) clinched the win for the Green and Gold, bouncing back after dropping his first set to defeat Clay, 3-6, 6-0, 6-0, at No. 5. Kader rounded out the Tribe’s scoring with a 6-3, 4-6, 6-2 win at No. 1 over Emery.

W&M now takes nearly two weeks off before returning to action with another home doubleheader on Saturday, February 26. That day, the Tribe will host Harvard at 9:00 AM, before taking on George Mason at 1:30 PM.
