WAYNESBURG, Pa. (March 29) – The Waynesburg University men's tennis team ended its 25-day hiatus from competition on Friday by hosting Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) opponent Bethany. There were several tight matches on the day, but unfortunately, not enough went the Yellow Jackets' way, as the Bison picked up a 6-3 victory.
 
The match was ultimately decided in the doubles contests, where Bethany (7-2, 2-0) secured victories at the number-two and number-three spots by the scores of 8-7 and 8-5, respectively. The number-one Jacket flight of seniors Jonah Cooper (Beaver Falls, Pa. / Beaver County Christian) and Josh Denham (New Kensington, Pa. / Valley) scored a hard-fought 8-6 triumph.
 
Cooper completed a 2-0 day with an impressive 6-0, 6-3 triumph at first singles. Waynesburg's (4-3, 0-1) other win of the afternoon came courtesy of freshman Joe English (Smithfield, Pa. / Homeschooled), by the set scores of 6-0, 6-1 at the number-three spot.
 
Waynesburg is back in action on Wednesday, when it hosts Thiel for a PAC match. Start time is scheduled for 4 p.m.
