Tennis Seasons Come to Close Against Catholic

MADISON, N.J. (April 30, 2016) – The Drew University men's and women's tennis teams capped the 2015-16 seasons with 6-3 and 7-2 setbacks, respectively, to The Catholic University of America in Landmark Conference dual matches at the Drew Tennis Complex on Saturday.
 
Top Performers: On the men's side, senior Adam Clark won his 37th career singles match in his final performance as a Ranger. He defeated his Cardinals (7-7, 4-3) opponent in three sets (6-3, 3-6, 7-5) at the No. 2 singles spot, which followed an 8-6 doubles win at the No. 2 spot with freshman partner Chris Morville. Drew finishes the season with a 7-12 record and 1-7 mark in league play.
 
For the women (8-9, 1-6), freshman Ty Ty Nguyen was 2-0 on the day with a gritty three set win (6-2, 4-6, 6-1) at second singles and an 8-4 victory at first doubles with teammate Jessica Cheng. Catholic improves to 9-6 overall and 3-3 in conference.
 
Other Highlights: Also playing in her final match as a Ranger, Kirby Clark took her No. 4 singles match into a third set after winning the second, 6-0. Clark fell in the third set, 6-3, to conclude a four-year, two-sport (field hockey) career in Madison.
 
Freshman Will Morrison wrapped up his rookie season with 11 singles wins after a 6-2, 6-2 victory in the No. 3 flight on Saturday.
