Seventh-Ranked Trinity Falls to No. 4 Claremont

 

Claremont, California – Trinity's men's tennis team, ranked seventh nationally, lost a 7-2 decision to Claremont College to open its California road trip on Friday afternoon.

Trinity (8-3) lost all three doubles points, but did manage to win two three-set matches in singles play, with a third match going three sets - though that was won by Claremont. 

Claremont improves to 15-3 on the season, and snaps Trinity's five-game winning streak that dated back nearly one month.

James Furr won at No. 3 singles 6-3, 5-7, 14-12 to improve to 8-2 on the season.  He has also won six consecutive singles matches.  Varun Munjal also won his eighth singles match of the year (just three losses) and has won four straight.

David Tran lost for the time this season, falling to 9-1 in singles play.  Tran lost 4-6, 6-7 in singles, as well as falling 1-8 in doubles play (with partner Crisanto Ramirez).

Trinity continues its road weekend in California with a match against the University of Redlands tomorrow, followed by a neutral match on Sunday against Pacific Lutheran University.  That final match will be played at Claremont.
