Men's Tennis Snags First Win from Ottawa Since 2017

RED OAK, Iowa — The Doane University men's tennis team delivered a strong all-around performance Saturday, defeating Ottawa University 6-1 at the Red Oak YMCA in Red Oak, Iowa, in a neutral-site matchup. The victory was the first for Doane over the Braves since 2017, erasing three consecutive shutouts in the process.

The Tigers used a dominant showing in doubles play to seize early momentum before winning five of six singles matches to secure the victory.

Doane claimed two of the three doubles contests to earn the team point. The No. 2 pair of Diego Infante and Elliot Dassel posted a 6-3 victory, while Andre Hartman and Miles Mollring cruised to a 6-0 win at No. 3 doubles. Ottawa captured the No. 1 position, but the Tigers carried the advantage into singles competition.

At the top of the lineup, Mats Vervloet battled back after dropping the opening set to defeat Jarmo Perez in a match tiebreak, 3-6, 6-4, 10-2. Infante also needed a super tiebreak to secure his win at No. 2 singles, outlasting Enzo Ceravolo 7-5, 6-7 (7-10), 10-7 in one of the day's most competitive matches.

Doane added straight-set victories from the middle and lower portions of the lineup. Jaime Asiain Banzo earned a 6-3, 7-5 win at No. 4 singles, while Mollring dominated 6-2, 6-1 at No. 5. Hartman completed the scoring for the Tigers with a decisive 6-1, 6-0 victory at No. 6 singles.

Ottawa's lone point came at No. 3 singles.
