"Coach I didn't mean to sleep through my alarm! (yes this sweet face was one who missed his alarm)" Saturday was an exceptionally long day for the Whitman Men's team as we left campus at 7am for matches against conference opponents George Fox and Pacific. The day got off to a rocky start as Freshman Matt Goldfogel showed up 15 minutes late for his first tennis road trip. Honestly I think "Fogel" was so excited about the prospect of playing that he couldn't sleep! The day almost got worse as we were leaving town and realized we were missing Dan Wilson! So we had to turn around, drive to Dan's house, rouse him out of bed and throw him into the van! This is one of the problems of large team -- sometimes it is impossible to keep track of people! Kudos to Christoph for realizing that Dan a) wasn't on the phone to his girlfriend and b) wasn't in one of the vans!
Both the George Fox and Pacific matches went well with us sweeping both matches without losing a set. Was fun to see both Jon Tat and Matt Goldfogel play and win their first college matches.
We are currently 4-0 in in the conference and tied for first place with Whitworth. Our next match is at home 10am Saturday against Willamette.
Whitman 9 Pacific 0
Whitman 9 George Fox 0
