W&L Men's Tennis Falls to No. 16 Mary Washington, 9-0

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. – The 32nd-ranked Washington and Lee men's tennis team dropped a 9-0 decision at 16th-ranked Mary Washington on Saturday afternoon.
 
The Generals surrendered a heart-breaking 8-7 (7) decision at No. 1 doubles, with the team of first-years Connor Coleman (Birmingham, Ala. / Briarwood Christian) and Harry Kittredge (Alexandria, Va. / The Field School) coming up just short against Moses Hutchinson and Andrew Watson. 
 
The Eagles carried the momentum of a 3-0 advantage through doubles into the singles play where they were able to sweep all six matches.  W&L dropped matches at No. 2 and No. 4 when junior Alex Fedor (Salem, Ore. / South Salem) and Kittredge were forced to retire due to injury.
 
Washington and Lee is now 10-4 overall, while UMW improved to 7-2.
 
The Generals will be the top seed for the ODAC Tournament and will host a quarterfinal match next Saturday against an opponent to be determined.
