Seniors Play Last Home Match as Quakers Win

For Immediate Release:
April 15, 2006

RICHMOND, Ind. — Three Earlham College seniors played their final home match on Saturday afternoon as the Quakers defeated North Coast Athletic Conference foe Wabash College 4-3.

The Quakers started off with doubles point and then won three singles contests to earn the victory. “This is a huge win for us,” Earlham coach Justin Carrier said. “We played well at every position and had to fight for every point. We came up big at crucial moments.”

Junior Scott Miller (Greensburg, IN/Greensburg) and senior Nate Henderson (Hyde Park, MA/Concord) won at No. 1 doubles. Senior Andy Nelson (Mantoloking, NJ/St. Mark’s School) and junior Peter DiLalla (Cleveland Heights, OH/Cleveland Heights) teamed for a victory at No. 2 doubles.

Nelson (No. 2), Henderson (No. 3) and DiLalla (No. 4) all posted straight set victories in singles.

Senior David Peake (Fredericksburg, TX/St. Stephen Episcopal) was also on the court for the last time. “Our seniors have done a great job this season,” Carrier said.

The Wabash match was to be the second of the day, but wet conditions forced the postponement of the morning contest against Ohio Wesleyan. That match is now scheduled for April 22 at Denison University. Also that day, the Quakers play Oberlin College at 10 a.m. in Granville, Ohio. Earlham and Ohio Wesleyan will play later that afternoon.

Earlham (7-3, 1-1) returns to action Wednesday at Ohio Dominican. The match gets underway at 4 p.m. Scoresheet.
