Jackets Sting Scots in Hilton Head

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C.— Gordon Men's Tennis suffered its first loss of the spring season on Wednesday, falling to a strong Baldwin Wallace team 9-0. The Yellow Jackets proved too much for the Scots from top to bottom, taking all singles matches in straight sets to improve to 12-1 this year. Gordon drops to 4-2 and 2-1 on the spring trip.

The Jackets took all three doubles spots to kick off the match, but they only met resistance at the reshuffled one spot. Mason Casady (Santa Barbara, Calif.) and Nate Lookwhy (Westborough, Mass.) hung tough with B-W's top group, but fell 8-4. Baldwin Wallace took the second and third flights, 8-1 and 8-2 respectively.

Lookwhy followed up his doubles match with a strong effort in singles, taking Kevin Fredrick (Archbold, Ohio) to the brink in a two-set match. The Scots rookie fell by a break in both sets, 6-4, 6-4.

Casady and senior Joe Daugherty (Norfolk, Va.) also fought valiantly in identical 6-2, 6-3 matches at one and five.

Gordon has another off day on Thursday before doubling up on matches in their final day in Hilton Head. The Fighting Scots matchup with Kutztown at 8 a.m. before a 3 p.m. match with Nebraska Wesleyan.
