3/30/2024 7:15:00 PM

LUDLOW, MA – On Saturday afternoon, the #18 Amherst College men's tennis team continued their unbeaten record versus NESCAC opposition by beating the #48 Hamilton College Continentals with a score of 8-1. Because of windy conditions, the match took place on the indoor courts at Ludlow Tennis Center rather than on the outdoor courts on Amherst's campus.

With their eighth win of the season, Amherst's season record improves to 8-2 (3-0 in NESCAC). Up next: the Mammoths will resume NESCAC competition next weekend. They will travel to Waterville, ME, to take on the #50 Colby College Mules on the Alfond-Wales Tennis Courts (or on their indoor courts).

HIGHLIGHTS:
  • Amherst swept the doubles matches to gain a 3-0 lead heading into the singles. 
  • Junior Kobe Ellenbogen won his singles match at the #3 spot convincingly without dropping a game in either set. 
  • Junior Edred Opie remains unbeaten in singles at the #2 spot with a three-set win versus Tarun Korwar. His singles record now stands at 8-0.
