ST. DAVIDS, Pa. - Eastern University Men's Tennis earned a tough 6-3 home win over Alvernia in non-league action today. The win is the first of the fall for the Eagles (1-1).

Sophomore Ryan Dykstra was the top double-winner for the Eagles as he rolled to a 6-1, 6-1 win at fourth singles and teamed with Tyler Schultz to earn a hard-fought win at second doubles.

Shultz and fellow first year Mylon Weaver also earned two points for the home squad.

Head Coach Mark Spangler was liberal with his praise for Dykstra and his work in the critical doubles match.

"Ryan held sever in that match," Spangler stated, "and that was big for us. He has a big serve, and he was on it today. He played really well in his singles match also."

Senior Bryan Arnett battled to a 6-0, 6-4 win at the top singles spot to continue his strong play.

"Bryan is playing really well now," Spangler added, "He is ready physically and mentally to be a top singles player. When he walks on the court he expects to win.

The Eagles have a home match against Albright this Monday before finishing the fall at the MAC Individual Tournament.
