Bronxville, N.Y. - (4/8/2021) – Junior
Tom Pitchley (London, England) put the silver lining on today's 6-1 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) loss at Concordia College (NY) as the Griffins' number-one singles competitor defeated his #30 nationally-ranked counterpart by a 7-6, 7-4, score. The Clippers' 6-1 win at number two double clinched the opening point, succeeding singles wins in the sixth (default), third (6-2, 6-1), and second (6-3, 6-3) flights.
After a Chestnut Hill College (3-3, 2-2) forfeit at number three doubles, Concordia College (4-0, 4-0) only needed the 6-1 win at number two doubles to secure a 1-0 lead. Their advantage was extended with another Scarlet and Gold default at number six singles, 2-0. And the Clippers' clinching victories in the third and second flights came just moments before Pitchley's triumph at number one singles, 4-1. The final two flights also went in the home team's favor; five singles (6-2, 6-3) before four singles (6-2, 6-2).
Chestnut Hill College returns to the Campus Courts on Sunday, April 11, when they host Dominican College in a 12:00 p.m. CACC match.
