The Penn State Behrend men's tennis team dropped a 9-0 decision
to regional power Grove City on Friday, March 6 at the Westwood
Raquet Club in Erie.
Elliot Blackstone (Wexford/Pine-Richland) took Grove City's John
Moyer into the deciding third set before falling 0-6, 7-6, 7-6 in
the #1 singles match. As a team Behrend falls to 2-2 on the
season.
The Wolverines would go on to win the other five singles matches
and swept all three of the doubles matches to earn the 9-0
victory.
Grove City improves to 1-0 early in the season. The
Wolverines compete in the PAC conference, and have won the league
title 18 consecutive years.
The Behrend men depart this evening for Hilton Head, South
Carolina. The blue and white are set to compete over the
spring break week against five other squads. The first match
for the Behrend Lions is set for Sunday, March 8 against Charleston
