RAMS BATTLE HARD BUT FALL TO NO. 56 ODU

Score: ODU 4, VCU 1
Location: Norfolk, Va.
Records: VCU 6-13, ODU 17-6

The Short Story: Despite a strong doubles performance to open the match, VCU Men's Tennis fell 4-1 on the road to Old Dominion, with the Monarchs claiming four singles victories to secure the win.

Quote from Coach Kutrovsky: "Tough match today, played some good doubles at 2 and 3 and had chances at a few courts. This was another opportunity for growth and development, and we will continue to build."

Doubles
  • After dropping the decision on Court 1, VCU responded on the remaining courts to take the doubles point. Mats Bredschneijder and Leon Zaorski evened the score with a 6-3 victory on Court 3, shifting momentum back to the Rams. The point came down to Court 2, where Gevorg Mnatsakanyan and Patrik Petera battled through a tight set before closing out a 7-5 win to secure the doubles point for VCU.
Singles
  • In singles play, the Rams battled across the lineup but ultimately came up short as Old Dominion claimed four courts to secure the match. Despite the result, VCU showed strong stretches on multiple courts. Patrik Petera earned a 6-2 first-set win on Court 5 and was in a strong position before his match was halted. Similarly, Alfred Almasi took the opening set 6-4 on Court 3 and remained in a competitive position deep into the second set when play was stopped.
