Spring Break Day 3

On Monday the Men's team took on another Division I opponent, The Citadel, from Charleston, SC. This is the fourth Division I opponent Whitewater has faced this year. This was going to be a tough match-up for the Warhawks considering our normal 3 singles player, Andy McGlashen, is out with a cut toe (he sustained the injury within five minutes of being down here). Because of the injury Brian Klein and Cam Laktash were able to get a chance to play in the line-up.

In doubles The Warhawks fell behind at 1 and 2 doubles early. 3 doubles fell down an early break as well, but got it right back. The doubles competition was solid throughout, but the Warhawks ended up falling at 1 and 2 doubles. 3 doubles played great and ended up winning 8-5. Due to Division I rules however the Warhawks were down 0-1 going into singles. All of the first sets were close, but the Warhawks were only able to grab the first sets at 2 and 3 singles. Those were also the only two matches where the Warhawks were able to grab the second set as well. After all was said and done the Warhawks walked away from the courts with a 2-5 loss, but it was a good match to gain experience for those players who normally aren't in the line-up.

There were some exhibition highlights though, including Brady Porter and RJ Rademacher coming back from 1-4 down at 4 doubles to win 8-7(5). Dan Noonan fresh off his clinching victory at 6 singles over Graceland won 8-4 at 7 singles.

The Warhawk Men and Women will both take on the College of Coastal Georgia Tuesday at 3:00pm EST. Stay tuned to Twitter for match updates. Go 'Hawks!
