Just wrapped up a wet weekend of play at the Northwest ITA Regional Tournament. Its been a long three day tournament (Saturday - Monday) and its too late to do a full tournament write-up.
Basically the Whitties had an amazing tournament. Even with most of the top players in the conference competing, the Whitman men dominated the tournament. In fact the semi's of singles and doubles were comprised entirely of Whitman players!
In singles Matt Solomon successfully defended his title dropping only 1 set (to teammate Nadeem Kassam) enroute to his second consectutive title. In the semi's Matt defeated teammate Quin Miller 6-1, 6-2. Quin had an outstanding tournament defeating the #3 seed (#1 player from Linfield) and the #1 player from Whitworth before losing to Matt in the Semis. In tonight's final, Matt defeated doubles partner Etienne Moshevich 6-4, 6-4.
In doubles Matt and Etienne defeated Christoph Fuchs and Quin Miller 6-1, 6-2. Kudos to Christoph and Quin who knocked off the #2 seed, #7 seed, and the #3 seed before losing to Matt and ET in the finals.
Other Whitties who had a great tournament include semi-finalist Chris Bailey (who lost to ET in 3 tough sets), Christoph Fuchs who lost to Bailey in the Quarters, Dan Wilson who lost to the Whitworth #1 in the round of 16, and Nadeem Kassam who lost to Matt in the quarters.
One of the big suprises of the tournament was play of freshman Adriel Borshansky who defeated the #2 seed (and #1 player from PLU) in the 2nd round of the tournament. Adriel showed composure beyond his years winning 6-3, 4-6, 12-10 against a seasoned DI transfer.
