ERIE, Pa. (April 24) – Led by four second-place individual finishers, the Waynesburg University men’s tennis team finished in second place at the 2010 Presidents’ Athletic Conference (PAC) Men’s Tennis Championships, which wrapped up on Saturday at the Pennbriar Athletic Club.
The Yellow Jackets recorded 28 team points, which placed them nine points ahead of third-place Washington & Jefferson, which scored 19 team points.
Three of the Jackets’ four runner-up finishes came in the singles ranks. Leading the way was senior Jeff Canning, who placed second at second singles. He dropped a 6-0, 6-0 championship match to top-seeded Peter Davis of Grove City.
Junior Emile Khoury couldn’t get past Grove City’s Anthony Rosselli, but still picked up a second-place finish after falling 6-1, 6-3. The Jackets’ Jon Anderson picked up a silver medal at sixth singles after falling 6-0, 6-0 to Grove City’s Scott Yanak.
Anderson teamed up with another first-year Waynesburg player, Jason Logan, to compete for the number-three doubles title against Rosselli and Caleb Fuller. Unfortunately, Anderson and Logan couldn’t overcome the Wolverine duo and fell in a hard-fought 8-6 match.
