Knights Tennis Takes Win Over Kansas City Christian

The Knights opened strong by sweeping all three doubles courts. At #1 doubles, junior Richey King and sophomore George Colombo picked up the early lead with strong serves and solid service returns — and held on for a solid 8-6 victory. At #2 doubles, senior Sunil Reiland and freshman Sankeerth Gandhari both served well and dominated the net for an 8-3 win. At #3 doubles senior Matthew Justis and freshman Dylan Markey dominated throughout with a strong 8-1 victory. 

On the singles court, the first four Knights to take the court fell behind early. The Knights dropped #2 and #3 singles, leaving the match in the hands of the middle and bottom of the lineup. Both King and Justis had a long night against strong players with matches that went into tiebreakers. Justis finished with a 9-8 (7-2) win.  The Knights needed one more to secure the team victory and that work was turned in by a dominating singles performance by Colombo, who won 8-2.  Shortly after, Richey King rallied from behind and fought off three match points to win the tiebreaker 9-8 (10-8).  Markey cleaned up for the Knights at #6 with an 8-0 victory.
