Scot Men's Tennis Nearly Upsets Powerful Kenyon

Rob Ogg picked up one of Wooster's three points with a win at No. 2 singles.

"Despite the loss, this was one of our better matches of the season," commented Scot head coach Hayden Schilling. "Our players, up and down the lineup, showed great intensity, and I really could not have asked for a better effort."

The least competitive match of the day, unfortunately for Wooster, came at first singles where sophomore Jake Sintich lost 6-1, 6-2 to Scott Schoenberger. The Scots picked up a point at second singles, however, as junior Rob Ogg took a 7-5, 2-0 lead before Jarin Jaffe defaulted.

The middle of Wooster's singles lineup struggled with sophomore Paul Wiley slipping to Kennan Hughes 7-5, 6-4 at number-three and junior Matt Bierlein dropping a 6-2, 6-4 decision to Josh Katzman at number-four.

The Scots exhibited their depth again by taking the fifth and sixth singles positions. Sophomore Jim Sayed came back from a 3-6, 0-3 deficit to defeat John Dix 7-5 in the third set at number-five, while freshman Clint Bailey topped Chris Enright 6-4, 7-5 at number-six.

The Lords won the doubles point to earn the victory led by Tiom Bearman and Hughes' 8-5 defeat of freshman Brandon Lichtman and Sintich at number-one. Also, Jaffe and Schoenberger posted an 8-6 win over Ogg and Wiley in second doubles, while Bierlein and Sayed defeated Dix and Katzman 8-6 at number-three.
