HILTON HEAD, SC - The Endicott College men's tennis team has opened their 2007 season with a busy first week in Hilton Head, South Carolina. The Gulls have registered a 1-3 record in a demanding four match, three day schedule.
Endicott dropped decisions to Lake Land College, Messiah and Sioux Falls on Sunday and Monday, and then rebounded with a 6-3 victory over Asbury College (Wilmore, KY).
In the win over Asbury, 2006 CCC Rookie of the Year Josh Schoen (Phoenix, AZ/Arcadia) defeated Matt Olsen (Mapleton, ME/Presque Isle) 6-4 and 6-3. Dan Murray (Coventry, RI/Bishop Hendricken), Scott Teller (Granville, NY/Granville Junior/Senior High), Marc Maloney (Feeding Hills, MA/Agawam High) and Brian Sonneborn (Rye, NH/St Thomas Aquinas) all scored singles victories over the Eagles.
In doubles action, the tandem of Josh Schoen and Dan Murray continued their winning ways, as the duo downed Art Kadlec (Mt. Vernon, OH/Mt. Vernon) and Matt Olsen, 8-4.
Josh Schoen has continued to impress, as the sophomore has compiled a singles record of 2-2, while he and his doubles teammate, Dan Murray, have gone 3-1 on the young season.
The Gulls retake the court on Wednesday for their final match of their early season road-trip. Endicott squares off with Principia at 12:00 Noon.
