Simpson Men's Tennis Splits A Pair At Wartburg

Daniel SchneiderSimpson College (2-5, 0-2 IIAC) split a pair of men's tennis duals Feb. 14 in Waverly. The Storm defeated Dominican (Ill.) 7-2 to begin the day. Simpson won 2-of-3 doubles matches as Noah Saunders (So., Norwalk, Iowa, Norwalk H.S.) and Kyle Shilling (So., Knoxville, Iowa, Knoxville H.S.) won at No. 2 as did Daniel Schneider (Fr., Ft.

Singles victories were recorded by Schneider (No. 2), Saunders (No. 3), Shilling (No. 4), Summitt (No. 5), and Ben Lampman (Jr., No. 6, Marshalltown, Iowa, Marshalltown H.S.).

Wartburg handed Simpson an 8-1 defeat in Saturday's second match. Schneider and Summitt earned the lone Storm victory, a 8-5 decision, over Walker Wilson and Aaron Masterson at No. 3 doubles.

"It was good to see the guys play well as a team against Dominican," said Simpson head coach Daniel Finn. "We had a bit of a let down against Wartburg and that match got away from us in a hurry, then we just couldn't recover from there on. Now all our focus will go towards Saturday against Central, hopefully we can rebound and play well there."

Simpson hits the courts next Saturday with a pair of duals at Central College. The day gets underway at 8:30 a.m .
