Spring Break Starts Off Well

The Wittenberg men's and women's tennis teams are both off to solid starts to the spring portion of the 2004-05 season. The men went 2-2 with two rainouts during a busy Spring Break trip to Orlando, Fla., and the women posted a 3-1 mark with one rainout in the shadows of Disney World.

The men have one singles player with a winning record, freshman Ryan Snyder (Trotwood, Ohio/Madison), a mid-year pick-up who has gone a perfect 5-0 at the No. 6 position. In addition, Snyder has teamed with sophomore John Shields (New Kensington, Pa./Valley) for a 3-3 record at No. 2 doubles. The team's best doubles record is owned by the No. 2 duo of senior Ben Burkam (Delaware, Ohio/Hayes) and junior Brian Pierce (Dayton, Ohio/Oakwood) at 4-2.


Both teams have a busy month ahead of them, with at least three matches each week on the schedule, culminating in the NCAC Tournaments April 23-24.
