No. 29 Tulane Slips Past Men’s Tennis, 4-3
Apr 02, 2017 | Men's Tennis
MEMPHIS – The number 29 ranked Tulane men's tennis team (14-4, 1-1 American) got a third set win at four singles to edge number 34 ranked Memphis, (13-6, 2-1 American), 4-3, Sunday.
Memphis got off to a quick start, grabbing a 6-0 win at one doubles and adding a 6-3 win at three to take a 1-0 lead in the match.
But Tulane got the match tied back up quickly with a straight set win at three. The Green Wave then took a 2-1 lead in the match with a 6-4, 6-1 win at six singles before Memphis answered with a 6-3, 4-6, 6-2 win at five singles from freshman Jan Pallares.
Junior Ryan Peniston then pushed Memphis in front 3-2 with a 7-6, 7-5 win over number 18 ranked Constantin Schmitz.
But the match swung back to the Green Wave's direction with a 6-4, 4-6, 6-0 win at two singles to tie the match at 3-all.
At the time of that win at two, the match at four singles was evenly split at one set apiece. Chris Patznovsky was up 2-1 in that match when all eyes moved to court four. He pushed his lead to 3-1, but Tyler Schick came back and took a 4-3 lead with a pair of service breaks. Patzanovsky broke back to get to 4-all, but Schick closed out the match for the 4-3 Tulane win.
Memphis will close its regular season next weekend with a Florida road trip that will start at Florida Gulf Coast, Saturday, and at conference foe USF, Monday. The team will then stay in Florida to prepare for the American Athletic Conference championships.
