ST. DAVIDS, Pa.- After dropping a heartbreaking 9-7 decision at No. 1 doubles, Eastern Unviersity Men's Tennis rallied to take the final eight matches for an 8-1 non-league win over visiting Neumann University.

Tyler Hoagland and Johnny Shenk led 7-6 at the top doubles spot, but Neumann's top pair broke serve twice to take the match. The Eastern duo then rallied to control play in their singles matches. Shenk was dominant at third singles with an overpowering 6-0, 6-0 win.

Hoagland, on the other hand, had a battle with Neumann's Dustin Broom. Eastern's left-handed ace came through with a 7-5, 6-2 win. Tyler Schultz earned a hard-fought 6-3, 7-6 (7-2) win at the second singles spot.

"The two Tylers had really quality singles wins today," Head Coach Mark Spangler said after the match, "they earned tough points against a pair of really solid players. That gives us some momentum and confidence as we go into this weekend."

Schultz and Mylon Weaver earned an 8-6 win at second doubles, and Herschel Dube and Codie Todd battled to a 9-8 (7-4) win at the third doubles spot. Dube, Weaver, and Todd each earned singles wins as well.

Eastern is back in action on Saturday with a home match against perennial Freedom Conference power Manhattanville.
