AMHERST, MA – On Saturday afternoon, the #16 Amherst College men's tennis team beat their Little Three rivals, the #30 Wesleyan University Cardinals, with a score of 7-2. In cool and windy conditions, the game took place on Amherst's outside tennis courts.

Amherst's unbeaten season record now stands at 5-0 (2-0 in NESCAC). Up next: the Mammoths will travel to Texas during their spring break to compete against five non-conference opponents. The first challenge will be the Schreiner University Mountaineers at the George and Frances Cree Tennis Center in Kerrville, TX. This game will begin at 1pm on Sunday, March 17.

HIGHLIGHTS:
  • Whereas the Mammoths began their spring games with a non-conference doubleheader last weekend versus Skidmore and US Coast Guard, today's game marked the Cardinals first game of the spring season.
  • The Mammoths got off to a strong start in the singles matches, winning all six first sets.
  • First-year Rex Harrison clinched the game with his three-set win at the #5 spot, shortly before senior Marshall Leung prevailed at the #4 spot.
