DUBUQUE, Iowa - The University of Dubuque men's tennis team celebrated Senior Day in the warms confines of Chlapaty Recreation & Wellness Center on Saturday. Seniors Caleb Heskett (team manager) and
Gavin Murrie were introduced before the doubles play began.
Gavin Murrie carried the momentum into the #1 doubles where he and partner
Jake Wallrichs captured the match 6-2. Murrie playing #1 singles battled from behind to win after dropping the first set 2-6, won the second 6-3 and dominated the third set 6-0. He is 10-5 overall in #1 singles play and is 6-6 with doubles partner Wallrichs.
It was a competitive day for the Spartans, the score may not represent the match. UD's top four singles would all enter a third set which could have swung the match in front of a good indoor crowd. The Spartans will travel across town on Monday, April 20 to play the Loras College Duhawks at 4:00 p.m. on the Tucker Tennis Courts. UD will end their regular season on the road at Simpson College on Friday, April 24 at 4:00 p.m. and at Central College on Saturday, April 25 at 10:00 a.m.
