Hey there, tennis fans! The Hampden-Sydney Tigers just wrapped up their fall season in style. Let me fill you in on all the exciting action that went down. On Friday night, our junior players Taylor Fox and Henry Singleton showed off their skills in both singles and doubles matches against Shenandoah University. Although we didn’t come out on top with a final score of 5-4 in favor of Shenandoah, our Tigers put up a fierce fight.
In the doubles matches, our dynamic duo of Barrett Foster and freshman Thomas Davis kicked things off with a fantastic 8-6 victory. Fox and Singleton also dominated their opponents with an impressive 8-4 win. Unfortunately, our sophomore players Casey Coffey and Dillon McReynolds narrowly missed out on a victory, falling 8-7 in a nail-biting tiebreak.
Moving on to the singles matches, Fox continued to showcase his talent with a dominant 6-0, 6-2 victory. Singleton joined in on the success with a solid 6-1, 6-4 win. Foster gave it his all in a thrilling three-set match, but ultimately fell short with a final score of 7-5, 6-1, 6-4. McReynolds fought hard but couldn’t secure the win, losing 6-4, 6-4. Coffey and Davis also faced tough opponents and unfortunately came up short.
But hey, this match wasn’t the end for our Tigers! It was just the conclusion of their fall season. They’ll be back in action in the spring, ready to take on the College of Charleston (SC) on February 2. So mark your calendars and get ready to cheer on our Tigers at the H-SC Tennis Courts at 2 p.m. It’s going to be an exciting match!
