Men's Tennis Outlasted by Otterbein

The Blue Streaks lost all four matches that needed tiebreakers

NEW ALBANY, Ohio – The struggles continue for John Carroll Men's Tennis.

A fourth straight loss dropped the Blue Streaks to 4-5 on the year, as JCU dropped a match hosted by Otterbein University at New Albany High School on Saturday.

The Blue Streaks battled hard, but fell flat in tiebreakers, which proved to be the difference in a 5-2 defeat.

Jean Davin and Anthony Markello shined in #1 doubles, 6-3, giving JCU a chance to win the team doubles point. Dylan Murlin and Cavan Boutillette lost an absolute heartbreaker of a tiebreaker, 8-6, that would have important implications following a 7-6 loss.

With the doubles point in hand, Otterbein could survive some JCU wins. Namely, a Davin domination atop the lineup, 6-1, 6-1, as well as a Boutillette victory at #6 singles, 6-4, 6-2.

The JCU defeats in the #2-5 singles were all very close, three decided by tiebreakers. Markello lost a 6-4, 2-6, 5-10 match at #2. Gorun dropped a 4-6, 3-6 defeat at #3. 

Nathan Tam looked good in coming back at #4, but fell short in a 3-6, 6-4, 3-10 defeat. Murlin also forced a tiebreaker, but could not get the job done late, 4-6, 6-2, 4-10.

Next Up
John Carroll will return to action on Sunday, March 29 at The College of Wooster at 2 pm. JCU will look to pick up its first conference win of the campaign.
