MIDSHIPMEN
DOWN RED RAIDERS
Annapolis, MD. -
(4/7) - The Red Raiders struggled to hold the lead in many of
their matches with Patriot League rival Navy on
Saturday. The Naval Academy was able to rally in a a
number of matches to triumph 7-0. However, the matches
were much closer than the score suggests.
The two teams split
victories at No's. 1 and 3 doubles, but Navy won the doubles
point thanks to a late rally at No. 2 doubles from Cameron
Lickle and Chris McGrath. The Navy duo held a 6-3 lead
over Andrew Davis and Jon Bedard, but Colgate stormed back,
winning the next four games to take a 7-6 lead. Lickle
and McGrath then won the next three games to win the match,
9-7.
In singles action,
Colgate gave a valiant effort against the solid Midshipmen
squad. Most of the matches went into tiebreaks or a
third set reinforcing the Red Raider's unwillingness to
surrender.
The Red Raiders fall to
5-10 on the season and 2-2 in Patriot League play. The
Red Raiders final match of the season is April 18th, at
Binghamton.
