Box Score HOUGHTON, NY – The Alfred University men's tennis team continued their spring season with a 9-0 loss to Grove City College on Saturday morning.

"Grove City is a strong and well-coached program," Head Coach Jordan Crouch said. "We talked all day about using today as a springboard to get us ready for conference competition coming up in a few weeks. We're improving and getting better each day. We had a lot of great points and contested games today. That is going to help us tremendously as we get into the rest of the season."

The Saxons (1-4) scored one point in doubles play thanks to Matthew Hibbert (Oswego, NY/Oswego) and David Lingenfelter (Erie, PA/Harborcreek) from No. 2. Lingenfelter later scored one point during his respective singles matchup from No. 3. Mike Roberts (Alfred Station, NY/Alfred-Almond) recorded points in both sets from No. 2 singles action.

"We have a few days of practice to get ready for Lycoming and SUNY Delhi," Crouch said. "There were some big takeaways on things we need to work on from today and we'll be sure to address those this week and come back stronger!"

Alfred University will next travel to compete against Lycoming College on Friday with matches beginning at 3:00 PM.
