HOUGHTON, N.Y. -- Houghton men's tennis knocked off PSU-Behrend, 7-2, Tuesday in the Kerr-Pegula Field House.

Zach Shilvock was particularly tough, going down 0-5 in his 3rd set tiebreaker, but coming back to win at 10-8. Dylan Scherer clinched the match with his win and has continued his unbeaten streak this spring at 5th singles. 

Louis-Guillaume Garcia was also dominating in his performance with a win at 2nd doubles and at 3rd singles. Bjorn Webb also had a dominating performance winning both at 3rd doubles and 6th singles.

Winning 2 of the 3 doubles matches set us up well going into singles," said Head Coach Matthew Webb. "The depth of this team is our strength, and our toughness as a team showed today. We are anxious to begin conference play in a couple weeks, and today was a good step forward."
