Conference tournament play for
the St. Andrews Men's Tennis
Team will resume on April 22-23.
Play was halted because of rain
during the tournament's original
date of April 7-9.
Every member of the Knights
advanced in the round of qualify
ing, which was played indoors,
before play was postponed.
Winning for the Knights were
David Saltman (8-4), Ken West
(8-0), Michael Roberts (8-5), Tim
Voige (8-3), and Chad Esposito
(8-1).
The second and third doubles
team were also successful in the
qualifying round, which was
held at Elon College. Emerging
victorious were the teams of
Mike Roberts and Ken West (8-0),
and Shawn Coffman and Tim
Voige (8-6).
Before play was suspended,
fourth-seeded Greg Dorsey had
captured a commanding lead
over nationally ranked Greg
Cassia, of Pfeiffer, winning the
first set 6-2. Also still alive in the
tournament is the number one
doubles team for St. Andrews,
Greg Dorsey and David Saltman.
Because of the suspension in
conference play, the regional
tournament was played at Elon
College on April 14-17. Again,
the Knights earned resp>ect by
having three players to get as far
as the third round. Ken West and
Chad Esposito each advanced to
the third round becfore losing.
Greg Dorsey managed to ad
vance to the round of sixteen, in a
sixty-four player draw, before
losing to fourth-seeded Zubin
Irani, of nationally ranked
Atlantic Christian College, 6 3,5-
7,3-6.
When asked how he felt going
into the conference tournament
this weekend, Dorsey said, "This
was a tougher season than last
season. Because of the weather
and stronger competition, 1
didn't get off to a very good start.
But right now I'm playing the
best tennis that I have all year,
and if I go out there and play my
best I think I have a shot at
winning it."
