Men's Tennis Tops Neumann

Box Score

ASTON, Pa.- Eastern University Men's Tennis swept all nine matches to earn a non-league win at Neumann University this afternoon. The Eastern depth paid dividends as they earned lopsided wins in the bottom four flights of singles play.

Eastern (6-3) took all three doubles matches without much trouble, and Bryan Arnett earned a 6-1, 6-4 win at second singles.

The drama of the day came in the #1 singles slot as Michael Roth battled Neumann's Chris Brown in a three set thriller. Roth dropped the first set in a tie-breaker, but the Eastern senior looked to have things in hand when he jumped to a 3-0 lead in the second set. Brown, however, had other ideas, and the Neumann #1 took the next five games and had a pair of match points at 5-3. Roth faught off match points at 5-3 and 5-4 and 5-5 before earning a 7-5 second set win. He would take the super-breaker 10-3.

"He was a classic counter-puncher," Head Coach Mark Spangler said of Roth's opponent, "Michael only had one unforced error in the super-breaker and he set up his points really well. It is nice to see him getting his serve going headed into this weekend."

The Eagles, who have won three straight matches, will look to make it four when they play at Cabrini on Thursday before resuming Freedom Conference action at Manhattanville on Saturday.
