Men's Tennis Winning Streak at Three Matches For Immediate Release: COLUMBUS, Ohio — Three victories in singles sealed a third straight win for the Earlham College men’s tennis team on Wednesday. The Quakers (8-3) won two of the three doubles contests to start the match on their way to a 4-3 win over Ohio Dominican University (10-8). “This was a great win for us,” Earlham coach Justin Carrier said. “It’s nice to take the close matches.” Earlham has won four of its last five contests by a score of 4-3 or 5-2. Junior Scott Miller (Greensburg, IN/Greensburg) and senior Nate Henderson (Hyde Park, MA/Concord) posted a 9-7 win at No. 1 doubles, while senior Andy Nelson (Mantoloking, NJ/St. Mark’s School) and junior Peter DiLalla (Cleveland Heights, OH/Cleveland Heights) teamed for an 8-4 victory at No. 2. In singles play, Henderson won at No. 3 and DiLalla was victorious at No. 4. A tiebreaker at No. 5 proved to be pivotal as first-year Shiro Fukuzawa (Nagano, Japan) posted a victory. “Shiro came up big,” Carrier said. “He has really started to find his game.” Earlham faces North Coast Athletic Conference foes Oberlin College and Ohio Wesleyan University on Saturday. Both matches will be played at Denison University with the Oberlin contest starting at 10 a.m. and the Ohio Wesleyan battle following in the afternoon. Scoresheet. —EC — Contact:
