TOWSON, Md. - The No. 22 Salisbury
University men's tennis team finished up its regular-season with an
8-1 win over Goucher College. The match was a make up from April 14
when the Sea Gulls were supposed to play two non-conference matches
between Johns Hopkins University and Goucher but a storm wiped out
the Gopher match.
The match was the final regular-season contest for senior
Brendan Kincaid who has been a four-year
member of the team and a leader. In the past two seasons he has
compiled a 30-15 overall record at No. 1 singles and a 22-7
mark at No. 1 doubles. This season he has led a dominant Sea Gull
team with a 20-5 overall singles record, 10-3 at No. 1 singles and
12-5 at No. 1 doubles.
Salisbury (17-5) breezed through the competition on
its way to the decisive win as the Sea Gulls fell just shy of the
sweep in No. 6 singles play. The No. 1 doubles duo of sophomore
Scott Burtzlaff and Kincaid set the tempo for the
match as they won eight straight points for the win. The No. 3
doubles team consisted of freshman Matt Copeland
and sophomore Marcus Robinson also posted an
8-0 score.
The Sea Gulls' top four singles players lost just
four points to the Gophers. Burtzlaff recorded his first clean
match of the year as he won 6-0, 6-0.
With the regular season over, the maroon and gold
will wait for the announcement by the NCAA selection committee to
see if their season will continue. The committee will release the
teams selected to the NCAA regionals this weekend.
