Weitzman Wins Twice at Connecticut College

NEW LONDON, Conn. – The Union College men's tennis team started the spring portion of its 2019-20 campaign on Sunday afternoon, falling by a 7-2 score to Connecticut College in non-conference action.
 
Sophomore Nick Weitzman was the lone bright spot on the day for Union (1-1), as he played a role in both Dutchman victories on the singles and doubles courts.
 
All three doubles matches were incredibly tight, with tiebreakers needed to decide winners in each contest. Weitzman and senior captain Del Schunk were the only Union tandem to end up on the right side of the tiebreak, defeating Evan Goldsmith and SangJin Song by an 8-7 (7-3) score at third doubles. The Dutchmen's other two came up just short, as senior captain David Bond and sophomore Ioannis Binopoulos fell 8-7 (7-0) at first doubles and freshmen Aidan O'Brien and Thomas McGuire dropped a close 8-7 (9-7) decision at the second flight.
 
Those two doubles wins helped to turn the tide for Connecticut College, who responded by winning five of the six singles contests. Binopoulos put up a good fight at first singles before falling 7-5, 7-6 (7-3) to Song, while O'Brien came up a break short in both sets of his second-singles match, losing by a 6-4, 6-4 score to Guillermo Garcia Rincon.
 
Weitzman managed to earn one singles victory for Union to end the long day, outlasting Michael Sarazen by a 7-6 (10-8), 7-6 (7-2) score at sixth singles.
 
Union will return to action on March 22 in Hilton Head, S.C., when the Dutchmen begin a week of Spring Break competition against DePauw University at 8:45 a.m.
