FINAL RESULTS

ERIE, Pa. – An unbeaten start to the young spring season remained intact Saturday afternoon for the Otterbein men's tennis team, which delivered a 9-0 shutout at Penn State Behrend and moved to 6-0 on the campaign.

The Cardinals needed to work for the clean sheet, winning a pair of matches in tiebreakers while posting some convincing results in others.

Brandon Wall and Connor Radune saw the biggest dogfight at first doubles, emerging 8-7, while the other two matchups weren't quite as close. Armando DiMichaelangelo and Jamie Price won 8-1 in the second spot while Jared Deel and Bryson Alexander posted an 8-2 finish in the third position.

Wall then battled nicely for a 6-4, 6-4 victory over PSU-Behrend standout Ricky Dong at first singles. Radune nearly tallied a shutout by going 6-1, 6-0 and Tom Ohler finished a decisive 6-2, 6-1 in the third spot.

Toward the bottom half, Riley Yost fought admirably for a 6-2, 7-6 triumph while Boban Mihajlov delivered identical 6-3 scores across his two-set win. Jeffrey Adkins culminated the lineup with a come-from-behind victory after dropping the first set, 3-6. He responded with a 6-1 victory and then pulled away for a 10-3 margin in the breaker.

Otterbein now heads west for its spring beak trip, this year heading to play five matches at various schools in Oregon and Washington. Stay tuned to otterbeincardinals.com and all of our social media outlets for coverage.
