Stags Split Doubleheader - Extend SCIAC Win Streak
Freshman Victor
Chien (Fr. – Diamond Bar, CA [pictured right])
won his fifth straight at #6 singles, as the Stags dropped a close
5-4 match to #1 Emory on Friday morning. CMS rebounded in afternoon
conference play, defeating La Verne 9-0 to extend its SCIAC
consecutive win streak to a program best 35th straight.
CMS was playing Emory for the second time in less than three
weeks, having dropped a 6-3 match to the Eagles in the semifinals
of the ITA National Team Indoors in St. Peter, MN. On its home
courts Friday, the Stags went down 2-1 after doubles, with
junior partners Thomas
Keiffer (La Jolla, CA) and Eric
MacColl (Greenbrae, CA) getting CMS on the board at
the #3 position.
In singles, the Stags got wins from senior captain Lawrence
Wang (Orange, CA) at #1, junior Mikey
Lim (Honolulu, HI) at #3, and Chien at #6. Both Chien
and Lim won third set match tie-breaks after Emory had taken a 5-2
lead.
Against La Verne, CMS swept the doubles to take a 3-0 lead. Senior
Russell
Chidester (Austin, TX) and freshman Max
Mullen (Westport, CT) then clinched the match for the
Stags with decisive wins at #6 and #4 singles respectively.
CMS is now 13-3 overall and 4-0 in SCIAC. Next up is the Stag-Hen
Invitational, co-hosted by CMS and Pomona-Pitzer, featuring eight
teams playing out to place over two days, Friday and Saturday March
20-21.
