La Verne Battles 7 Teams in 11 Game Homestand

The University of La Verne men's tennis team had a 7-game homestand spanning 11 days from the period of April 17-27, but the Leopards were unable to come out with a win.

The Leopards kicked off the action with a match against Amherst College, where the #1 doubles team of Richie Delgado and Alex Muresan started off strong with a 8-6 win over Wes Waterman and Jon Thaler, however, it would be La Verne's only point of the day. Muresan (#2) would continue his strong play, this time in singles, as he took on Sewanee's Jay Hill, and came out with a 7-5, 6-2 victory. La Verne's #2 would strike again against Middleburg's Eric Vehovec in an exciting 6-4, 4-6, (11-9) outcome.

Senior Adrian Laygo would also earn a few victories; first with teammate Joe Matsuoka against Biola as #3 doubles (8-4), and alone against Pugeot Sound's #1 Jamie Hosmer, in a gritty 7-5, 4-6, (10-8) finish.

La Verne will take a few days off before they head out to Claremont to take on conference rival Pomona-Pitzer. The match will begin at 2:00pm.
