Men’s tennis competed in the ITA Regionals in Maine on Sept. 30. Tommy Harrison ’26 proved a standout player at the event. Beating the sixth seed in the first round 7-6 (6-4), 6-4, Harrison was the only Judge to win a singles match. Others got close. Simon Kauppila ’23 lost in a tight three set match, 6-4, 7-6, 6-4, and Alex Merson ’26 got to a third set until ultimately dropping the match 1-6.

Although the singles matches proved difficult for the Judges, the doubles teams were unstoppable in their first round matches. Kauppila and Hunter Levine ’26 won in the closest match, 8-3. Chen Liang ’24 and Jack Goldstein ’26, Dylan Walters ’24 and Harrison, and Haidyn Green ’26 and Merson won with a bagel and two breadsticks, respectively.

Across the board, the Judges struggled with their second-round matches, going 0 for 5. In singles, Harrison lost 3-6, 2-6. He also fell with partner Walters in the doubles, losing 5-8. Liang and Goldstein and Green and Merton each lost 4-8. Kauppila and Levine fell 2-8.

These results wrap up the fall 2022 matches for the men’s team. They’ll pick up again in the spring with a home match against St. Michael’s College on Feb. 4. The women’s team still has one match this semester, playing Nichols College at home on Saturday, Oct. 15.
