The Muhlenberg men's tennis match dominated up and down the lineup in shutting out Monmouth (Ill.) for its first win in Florida.
The Mules conceded only 21 games in nine matches. The No. 3 doubles team of sophomores
Jason Grant and
Adam Kronick wasted little time in their 8-0 shutout, while junior No. 2
Noah Sellinger and senior No. 6
Jon Yandle posted 6-0, 6-0 singles shutouts.Â
At No. 2, the duo of junior
Alex Dagilis and senior
Steven Shoemaker (pictured above), playing together for just the second time, breezed to an 8-2 win, with Shoemaker recording a smash at the net on match point.
Sellinger, Dagilis and freshman No. 1
Lucas Bueno all won at both doubles and singles.
On their first day in Florida, the Mules challenged themselves against Georgia Gwinnett, the No. 1-ranked team in NAIA Division II, and NCAA Division II Findlay. Although Muhlenberg was swept in both matches, the players enjoyed the opportunity to take the court against a high level of competition.
