Wesleyan men’s tennis opens spring season at UC Invite

CHARLESTON, W.Va. – The West Virginia Wesleyan men’s tennis team saw three doubles wins and five singles wins against defending MEC Champion Charleston in the two-day UC Invite.

Day 1 Winners
Kevin Lin and Camillo Salvi won one doubles match
Kihiro Karasawa and Emanuel Mallya won one doubles match
Ishan Godbharle and Andreas Hald Dige won one doubles match
Jonathan Lindstrand and Anthony McIntosh won their flight
Kevin Lin won his singles match

Day 2 Winners
Emanuel Mallya, Andreas Hald Dige, Jonathan Lindstrand and Giovani Pinhati all won their flights and both matches.

Overall, the Bobcats walked away with four flights after only winning one flight in this event last year.

Coach Hoffman’s Comments
“I think one of the biggest takeaways from last year to this year’s group was our preparation coming into this event. We had an extra week with school starting a little earlier and last year was our first normal season in awhile.”

He continued, “This event gives us a good look at a lot of our MEC opponents and our guys were right in the mix. Everyone has more of a comfort level of what we’re trying to do in year two and for our young guys, we had a chance to play a few more fall events to work out the nerves.”

Next Up For The Bobcats
Wesleyan will be back on the courts when travel to Pittsburgh to face Carnegie Mellon on February 18.
