Men's tennis beat UTC 6-0 today to moved to 8-0 in the conference. Their final game is on Wednesday and if they were to lose the worst they could do is share the regular season title. Congrats to the team and let's hope they can finish it off on Wednesday.
Go Phoenix!

What a season by the men's team...
ELON, N.C. – Elon swept its way through all three doubles matches and all six singles bouts as the No. 43 Phoenix cruised to a 7-0 Senior Day men’s tennis triumph over Liberty Saturday afternoon at the Jimmy Powell Tennis Center.
“I am so proud of what this team has accomplished this season,” Elon coach Michael Leonard said. “I am also very proud of our seniors (Sebastian Bredberg, Anuwat Dalodom, Austin Fenn, Alex Garrett and Kyle Smialek) and the leadership of our captains (Bredberg and Fenn). They have been truly instrumental in leading our program to the level it’s at now.”
The Phoenix (20-2) became only the sixth Elon men’s tennis team to ever claim 20 victories and the first in 11 seasons. The Phoenix finished 22-3 in 1990, 21-4 in 1937, 21-6 in 1996, 20-3 in 1988 and 20-4 in 1994. The 2006 Phoenix narrowly missed that plateau, going 19-5 following a 5-17 campaign in 2005. Elon’s current 11-match winning streak marks the program’s longest streak since the 1993 squad won 17 matches in a row.
Damon Gooch dispatched Jarda Trojan 6-0, 6-1 at No. 1 singles, Dalodom upended Chad Simpson 6-0, 6-3 at No. 2, Mason Schermerhorn foiled Sebastian Pena 6-2, 6-1 at No. 3, Bredberg beat Juan Reyes 6-1, 6-2 at No. 4, Fenn ousted Franco Valdez 6-2, 5-7, 10-2 at No. 5 and Kevin Beard dropped Luis Olivera 6-1, 6-3 at No. 6.
In the doubles, Gooch and Schermerhorn topped Trojan and Fabricio Picanco 8-6 at No. 1, Bredberg and Kevin Colin overcame Simpson and Pena 9-7 at No. 2 and Fenn and Kyle Smialek stopped Reyes and Olivera 8-2 at No. 3.
Gustaf Asplund (17-3), Beard (5-2), Bredberg (15-4), Colin (2-0), Dalodom (15-3), Fenn (16-4), Garrett (2-0), Gooch (16-4), Clark Howell (1-0), Schermerhorn (17-3) and Smialek (1-0) have amassed a 107-23 (.823) singles record this spring.
Elon is scheduled to host Lees-McRae at 1 p.m. Sunday at the Jimmy Powell Tennis Center. The Flames (4-15) will now head to Radford, Va. next week for the Big South Conference Championship, beginning Thursday.
