Men's Tennis Drops Season Opener To Millersville

WILLIAMSVILLE, N.Y. - The Daemen College men's tennis team suffered a 6-1 loss tonight against visiting Millersville University at the Miller Tennis Center. The match marked the season opener for both the Wildcats and Marauders.

Aided by a default win in the No. 3 doubles position, Millersville swept through the opening portion of the match. Carlos Martinez-Lucas teamed with Ben Fellman for a 6-3 win in the top position. MU's Rodrigo Lorencin and Frank Yanni scored a 6-3 win in their No. 2 doubles match.

In singles play, Daemen broke through with a 6-2, 6-3 win in the No. 2 position by Patrick O'Brien (Pittsford, N.Y.).  The Daemen sophomore, who earned second-team All-ECC honors last season, improved to 11-4 in his collegiate singles career.

Daemen also got a solid effort from senior Fabian Wilde (Crimmitschau, Germany) who pushed Martinez-Lucas, the reigning Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Athlete of the Year, to a third set tie-break before falling 6-7, 6-2, 10-5. 

Fellman (6-3, 6-3), Lorencin (6-3, 6-2), Santiago Ramos (6-2, 6-2) and Jose Alcazar (default) also picked up singles wins for the Marauders.

Daemen's brief fall season continues next weekend (Sept. 13-16) when the Wildcats travel to the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, Queens for the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) East Region Championships.
