Final Stats

ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- The Navy tennis team dropped only four games in doubles and nine games in singles on its way to posting a 7-0 victory over Mount St. Mary's, Saturday afternoon at the Severn Valley Tennis & Fitness Club.

"We have worked all week on playing more aggressively and taking the play to our opponents more than we have," said Navy head coach John Officer. "We did a good job of that today."

Navy won each of the three doubles matches to win the doubles point, then went on to win each of the six singles matches contested on the day.

A total of 10 Mids took to the courts Saturday, with just Nate Nelms (So., St. Mary's, Ga.) and Johnny Waters (So., Papilion, Neb.) recording a pair of victories during the meet. Nelms teamed with Jason Hill (So., Atlanta, Ga.) to post an 8-2 win at No. 1 doubles over the team of Jeff Lamberton and Derek Taylor, then posted a 6-0, 6-1 victory over Favio Osorio at No. 1 singles. Waters began the day by pairing with Ramsey Lemaich (Fr., Danville, Calif.) at No. 2 doubles to defeat Thadd Mostowtt and Osorio by a score of 8-0, then recorded a 6-1, 6-1 victory over Jeff Lamberton at No. 2 singles.

Navy's Nos. 5 and 6 singles players both put together strong matches on the day, with Luke Albi (So., Cincinnati, Ohio) and Jarrad Smoke (Fr., Belmar, N.J.) each posting 6-0, 6-0 victories over their respective opponents.

Navy, 2-1 on the young season, will next be in action Feb. 3 when the Mids play host to Georgetown (12 Noon) and Villanova (5 p.m.) at the Severn Valley Tennis & Fitness Club.
