ELMIRA, N.Y. -- Houghton men's tennis improved to 8-4 overall and 5-0 in conference play with a 9-0 win over Elmira College on Saturday.

The doubles teams of Louis-Guillaume Garcia and Jake Fisler (8-1) and Zach Shilvock Dylan Scherer (8-0) staked the Highlanders to an early 2-0 lead. That margin grew to 4-0 when the Soaring Eagles forfeited third doubles and sixth singles. The remaining singles matches went to Garcia (6-4, 6-1) Shilvock (6-0, 6-0), Fisler (6-0, 6-0), Scherer (6-2, 6-0) and Ethan Yung (6-0, 6-0).

"It's always a shame when you don't get to play a full matchup, but the guys did a really good job keeping focused today," said Head Coach Tonya McGraner. "They went out, played their game, and controlled the matches."

The Highlanders will scrimmage Onondaga Community College on Monday before returning to conference play with a home match against Nazareth on Saturday, April 20 at 1 p.m.
