TRINITY WINS 13TH CONSECUTIVE
MEN'S TENNIS TITLE
SEWANEE, Tenn. – After dropping the doubles point, Trinity
University reeled off wins at No. 1, 2, 3 and 5 singles to clinch the 2006
SCAC Men’s Tennis Championship and earn a 4-1 victory over DePauw
University. The title is the 13th
consecutive for Trinity and 14th overall.
The final day of the 2006 SCAC Spring Sports Festival was plagued by wind
and rain which forced the men’s title match to finish on the three indoor
courts at Sewanee. The third/fourth place match between Rhodes and Sewanee
was moved to indoor courts in Chattanooga and the fifth/sixth and
seventh/eighth place matches were cancelled.
D.J. Petros of Trinity, who earned a spot on the team at No. 1 doubles
with playing partner John Matthews, is the only honoree on this year’s
squad that has earned multiple all-tournament honors. He and partner Nick
Kaloudis went 3-0 at No. 3 doubles at the 2004 SCAC Championships in
Atlanta.
