BACK ON THE ROAD
The Loggers hit the road again this weekend, traveling to George Fox and Willamette.
The Loggers vs. Whitworth
In a match that could have gone either way, the Whitworth Pirates slipped past the Puget Sound Loggers, 6-3, in a Northwest Conference men's tennis match on Friday afternoon at UPS Tennis Pavilion in Tacoma, Wash.
The doubles squad of Jamie Hosmer (Tucson, Ariz./Sabino) and Sam McCullugh (Mankato, Minn./Mankato West) earned the Loggers a point at the number one spot, outlasting the team of Ed Anegon and Joe Wales, 9-7. Unfortunately for UPS, the Pirates were on the winning end of the other two competitive matches to take a 2-1 lead into singles play.
Hosmer breezed to a singles win at the number two spot, 6-1, 6-0, to give the Loggers another point but freshman Alen Harrison (Southborough, Mass./The River School) was the only other Logger to earn a win, taking the point at the number five singles spot.
The Loggers vs. Whitman
Taking on the 15th-ranked team in the nation and several of Division III's best players, the Puget Sound Loggers were swept by the Whitman Missionaries, 9-0, in a Northwest Conference men's tennis match on Saturday afternoon at the UPS Tennis Pavilion in Tacoma, Wash.
The number one doubles team of Jamie Hosmer (Tucson, Ariz./Sabino) and Sam McCullugh (Mankato, Minn./Mankato West) played Matt and Dan Solomon of Whitman tough before falling 8-3 as Whitman picked up three points in doubles play.
In singles play, Alex Harrison (Southborough, Mass./The River School) was Puget Sound best hope for a point, nearly forcing a third set before falling to Robert Rye, 6-4, 7-6 (6).

The Bruins head into this weekend with a record of 1-6 in NWC play. The Bruins' lone win came in their last match against Pacific by a score of 6-3. George Fox is 8-34 in singles matches and 4-17 in doubles matches.
