FREDERICKSBURG, VA -- The Washington College men's tennis team opened its 2002-03 season at the Mary Washington Kick-Off Classic this past Saturday and Sunday. The Shoremen picked up three wins in doubles play and played all of their matches against Division I opponents.

Junior Peter Taylor (Canton, CT/Canton) and sophomore Rafael Martins (Vitoria, Brazil/Prof. Anibal de Freitas/Cristelo) defeated Matt Hane and Marius Weigert from George Washington, 8-5, in their second match of the tournament at No. 1 doubles . Sophomore Asfand Farouk (Karachi, Pakistan/City School) and junior Alvaro Prado (Guatemala City, Guatemala/Liceo Javier) also won their second match of the tournament at No. 2 doubles, topping Kenan Bell and Joel Moyland of Liberty, 9-8(4). At No. 3 doubles, junior Louis Blanchette (Dieppe, N.B., Canada/Mathieu-Martin) and freshman Maciek Prytula (Szczecin, Poland) won their opening match, 8-5, against Jason Sucoll and Jake Jopling of George Washington.

All but one of the Shoremen's Sunday singles matches did not finish due to rain.
