Facing its third of nine straight nationally ranked opponents on Wednesday afternoon the Kingsmen tennis team notched its fourth sweep of the year with a 9-0 win over University of Texas-Tyler. It was the first shutout over a nationally ranked opponent this season after having defeated Redlands and Mary Washington to begin the stretch.
After moving up to No. 15 in the national rankings on Tuesday, the Cal Lutheran men's tennis team defeated No. 28 University of Mary Washington (VA) 7-2 on Thursday at the Poulson Tennis Center. It is the second consecutive win over a ranked opponent and the next seven scheduled matches for CLU are all against nationally ranked teams.
For the first time since 2003 the Cal Lutheran men's tennis team defeated Redlands doing so by a 6-3 margin at the Poulson Tennis Center on Monday afternoon. Freshman Ray Worley earned the deciding point with a 6-4, 7-6 victory at No. 4 singles to seal the match.
Because of heavy rain on Saturday the Cal Lutheran men's tennis team faced La Sierra University on Sunday afternoon instead and cruised to a 9-0 victory. The Kingsmen welcome Redlands into town on Monday for a showdown between undefeated conference opponents.
Due to recent heavy amounts of rain all CLU home events originally scheduled for Saturday have been postponed to a later date. Softball was set to travel to La Verne before postponing its Saturday duel with Leopards while the Track and Field meet at Claremont-M-S is currently on as planned.
To begin its 2010 season the Cal Lutheran men's tennis team claimed victories in three matches over three days, capped by a 9-0 win against Chapman at home on Sunday. After the opening weekend, the Kingsmen are 17-1 in all of singles play and 7-2 in doubles.
In a matchup between two nationally ranked teams the No. 28 Cal Lutheran men's tennis team upended No. 30 Pomona-Pitzer 6-3 on Saturday. The No. 1 singles match featured two nationally ranked players as CLU's Andrew Giuffrida defeated Tommy Meyer 6-1, 6-2.
After its originally scheduled season opener was rescheduled because of rain, the Cal Lutheran men's tennis team kicked off its 2010 season with a 9-0 win at SCIAC opponent Caltech on Friday. The Kingsmen have now notched victories in their season opener each of the past three seasons.
