In its second match of the day, Calvin started off slow trailing Rose-Hulman 2-1 after doubles.

The No. 2 doubles duo of sophomore Stuart Johnston (Grand Blanc, Mich./Grand Blanc HS) and freshman Ryan Broek (Hudsonville, Mich./Unity Christian HS) gathered the Knights only doubles victory with a score of 8-5. The Knights fought hard but were unable to recover from their slow start, winning only two singles matches.

In No. 2 singles Johnston fell short to Grant Paradowski 6-1, 7-6 (7-5) after losing the tiebreaker in the second set. No.3 singles freshman Emmanuel Henao Estrada (Medellin, Columbia/Escuela Normal Superior) and Rhian Seneviratne fought in a thrilling three set match. Seneviratne came out on top with a 4-6, 6-3, 11-9 victory.

At No. 5 singles Broek posted a 7-5, 1-6, 10-4 victory after battling Andrew Leonard. Junior Adam Zentner (Clarkston, Mich./Clarkston HS) captured the No. 6 singles 6-3, 6-3 over Corey Pollard.

COACHES COMMENT: "The Rose-Hulman men were really strong," said Calvin head tennis coach John Ross. "And give Rose-Hulman credit for winning some big tiebreakers in the match. It was a pretty good day overall. Good to get a win over Moravian and then we fought hard against Rose-Hulman and learned some things about ourselves."

NEXT UP: The Knights will return to the court Thursday facing off against Keiser University at 3 p.m
