Eagles Lose to Trailblazers, Split Season Series

RUTLAND, Vt.- The Green Mountain College men's tennis program honored its seniors before the match. The Eagles could not clinch the win on senior day, however, as they were defeated by MCLA, 7-2, Wednesday afternoon at Mac-Sam Tennis.  The win avenged an earlier loss to GMC for MCLA as it improved to 3-2 in the NAC and 3-5 overall.  The Eagles fell to 4-6 overall and are 0-4 in the conference.

GMC struggled out of the gates in the rematch as they dropped all three doubles matches. Andrew Woodman and Kyle Walz and the pairing of Eric Wade and Alex Reedy each suffered 8-2 losses in the second and third slots. The first flight doubles result saw the duo of Connor Braden and Truman Cressey fall 9-8 (7-4 tiebreak) to put the Eagles down 3-0 heading into singles.

Braden (6-1, 6-2) and Cressey (6-4, 7-5) would get a bit of revenge as they took the first two singles flights in straight sets.  MCLA would have the answer though as they would claim the final four singles matches to secure the win.

The Eagles close out the regular season this weekend with a pair of matches against Johnson on Saturday and Lyndon on Sunday.
