AMHERST, N.Y. - Freshman Tim Georg (Aschaffenburg, Germany) wasted little time in making an immediate impact for the Daemen College men's tennis team as he won the singles championship in his draw today, the final day of competition at the Daemen Invitational Tounament held at the Ellicott Tennis Courts.

The tournament featured eight competing teams - Daemen, Roberts Wesleyan College, Millersville University, Le Moyne College, Niagara University, Colgate University, Allegheny College and Rochester Institute of Technology - and it runs through this Sunday, Sept. 17.

Matches today included singles and doubles action. The tournament featured seven draws for singles play, which were color coded as follows: red (No. 1), orange (No. 2), yellow, (No. 3), green (No. 4), blue (No. 5), indigo (No. 6) and violet (No. 6 ). Doubles draws included the following: Wimbledon (No. 1), U.S. Open (No. 2), French (No. 3) and Aussie (No. 4).

Playing in the yellow singles draw finals, Georg scored a 6-4, 6-1 defeat of Niagara's Josh Wilson today. It was his second defeat of an NCAA Division I athlete in as many days after downing Colgate's Tyler Krantz in yesterday's semifinal (4-6, 6-2, 1-0).

In the indigo finals, Colgate's Alec Dardis got the better of Daemen's Fabian Wilde (Crimmitschau, Germany), winning 6-0, 6-2.

As a doubles pair, Georg and Wilde competed for the French draw title, but fell to Colgate's Dardis and Jack Ablon, 8-5.

In the Aussie doubles title match, Daemen's Jose Williamson III (Minneapolis, Minn.) and Justin Milner (Ithaca, N.Y.) fell in an eight-set pro match (8-6) to Colagte's Peter Hartman and Cameron Swanson.

Daemen returns to action at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) East Regional Tournament next weekend at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, N.Y.
