KING'S TENNIS FALLS TO LVC, PORTONOVA IMPROVES TO 21-0
ANNVILLE -- The King's College men's tennis team dropped a 5-2 decision to host Lebanon Valley College Sunday in Annville.
With the loss, King's fell to 7-14 while Lebanon Valley improved to 8-9.
Monarch freshman Mike Portonova posted a 6-0, 6-1 victory over Erik Vargo to remain unbeaten at 21-0 in singles play, while winning his 31st straight set of the season. Portonova, who became the first player in King's history to finish a regular season with an undefeated record, has not dropped a set since the Monarchs' season-opener March 7.
Portonova teamed with Nick Hojsack to earn a 8-1 doubles victory over Stu Hartman and Zach Kaufman. King's team of Matt Dunne and Eric Mazza also posted a 8-6 win over Zach Cook and John Henry.
The Monarchs will now compete in the Middle Atlantic Conference Singles and Doubles Championships Friday and Saturday at Lehigh University in Bethlehem.
