TACOMA, Wash. - Taking on the 20th-ranked team in the nation,
the Puget Sound Loggers had little answer for the Whitman
Missionaries, falling 8-1 in a Northwest Conference men's tennis
match on Sunday morning at the UPS Tennis Pavilion in Tacoma, Wash.
The Loggers picked up a point as the team of Scooter Sabel (Sun
Valley, Idaho/Community School) and Andrew Timmons (Shoreview,
Minn/Mounds View) pulled out a win over the team of Reid Bennett
and David Deming, 8-6. The Loggers kept the other matches
close but Whitman added a pair of wins to take a 2-1 lead.
In singles play, the closest the Loggers would get to a victory
came in the fourth position as Sabel battled with Jasper Follows
before falling, 6-4, 4-6, 1-0 (10-8).
The Loggers hit the road next weekend, traveling to George Fox
and Lewis & Clark in a pair of NWC contests.
