KING'S MEN'S TENNIS WINS TWO VERSUS CLARK, URSINUS

KISSIMMEE, FLA -- The King's College men's tennis team continued its solid play as the Monarchs won a pair of matches Wednesday in Kissimmee, Fla.

King's defeated Clark University 8-1 in a morning matchup, then followed with a 8-1 triumph over Ursinus College in the afternoon. With the sweep, King's improved to 3-2 on its spring trip, going 3-0 against Division III teams while dropping both matches to NAIA scholarship programs. It marked the first time King's has ever won more than two matches during its annual pilgrimage to Florida.

Junior Nick Hojsack went a combined 4-0 on the day in both singles and doubles for the Monarchs. Junior Mike Portonova, sophomore Blake Bonser, and freshman David Kaluzavich all went 3-0. Sophomore Povl Schmidt was 2-0 while sophomore David Boe was 3-1.

The Monarchs will wrap up its southern trip Thursday with a match against NCAA Division II Southern Illinois-Edwardsville.
