READING, Pa. --- Despite being forced indoors by rainy conditions, the Elizabethtown College men's tennis team earned a 9-0 win over Albright College in Commonwealth Conference action on Friday afternoon.

At first singles, sophomore Brok Walker (Red Lion, PA/Red Lion) was 6-1, 6-4 winner over David Scherler, junior Jeff Kirkhoff (Duncannon, PA/Susquenita) downed Yoshi Otsuka 6-2, 6-0 at second singles, senior Andrew Voshell (Chester Heights, PA/Garnet Valley) was a 6-1, 6-0 winner over Kevin Gauby at third singles and first-year student Bryan Metz (Hummelstown, PA/Lower Dauphin) won 6-1, 6-0 at fourth singles over Jason Lefkoe.

Due to the fact that Albright's LifeSports Center has just four courts, the final two singles matches were played as pro sets. At fifth singles, sophomore Brandon Stolar (Millville, NJ/Millville) was an 8-0 winner over Phil Bobbitt, and first-year student Stijn Van Esveld (Bilthoven, The Netherlands) defeated Jonathan Hong 8-1 at sixth singles.

In doubles, Kirkhoff and Voshell earned their fifth straight win with an 8-3 victory over Scherler and Otsuka at flight one, Walker and Metz defeated Bobbitt and Gauby 8-0 at flight two, and senior Jim Dombach (Lancaster, PA/Manheim Township) and sophomore Mike Steiner (Greensburg, PA/Greater Latrobe) downed Lefkoe and Hong 8-0 at flight three.
