Men’s Tennis
Downed by FDU-Florham
Warrior Byerly
Defeats Geiger in #1 Singles
WILLIAMSPORT,
Pa.—Lycoming’s men’s tennis team lost to last year’s Freedom
Conference runner-up FDU-Florham on Wednesday at Bruce Henry
Park.
Down 3-0
after doubles competition, the Warriors strived for better in
singles. Number-one Mike Byerly (West Milton, PA/Lewisburg)
dismantled first team All-Conference Adam Geiger in
straight sets 6-4, 6-4. Byerly was second team All-Conference
last year.
Number-six
Warrior Jeff Morcom (Waymart, PA) defeated an athletic
Pierre Schmitt 6-3, 6-3. Schmitt also plays basketball for
the Devils.
Unfortunately, two wins was all that Lycoming could manage on
the afternoon as they went down 7-2. The Warriors’ number-two singles player John
Stutzman (Williamsport, PA/Loyalsock) was forced to forfeit
and may be out indefinitely with an injury.
Lycoming
takes to the courts again on March 31 at Drew. Byerly
hopes to stay undefeated and head coach John Dorner hopes
the Warriors can claim a big victory over last year’s Freedom
champion.
