Winning Streak Ends for Men's Tennis at Home vs. Rochester

UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS – Playing for a second straight day at the Short Family Tennis Center, John Carroll Men's Tennis stumbled against a tough University of Rochester team.

The Blue Streaks battled hard, but surrendered a 9-0 loss to the Yellowjackets.

John Carroll drops to 5-7 on the campaign, marking the conclusion of a 4-match winning streak. 

Two narrow losses set the Blue Streaks back in doubles play. 

Rochester opened with a clear victory at No. 2 doubles, before eking past the Blue Streaks at No. 1 then No. 3 doubles. Grant Sarnowski and Logan Langovsky lost a narrow one, 8-6. Anthony Markello and Phillip Gorun then dropped a hard-fought affair in the final contest, 8-6.

The Yellowjackets notched an impressive win at No. 2 singles to send JCU to the brink. The visitors then ensured the team win with a tough victory at No. 3 over Anthony Markello, 6-4, 6-1. 

Rochester kept rolling by taking the top singles match, as well, though Langovsky lost a thriller in the opening set, 5-7, before Rochester rolled in the second, 1-6. Rochester notched the other four singles matches with relative ease, showcasing why the Yellowjackets are rated #41 in Division III.

The competition today should be good prep for another stout foe upcoming on the schedule, as Ohio Northern is next up. The Blue Streaks will host Ohio Northern at the Short Family Tennis Center for a 5 pm match on Saturday.
