Saints Domination Continues Against Tabor

Saints Domination Continues Against Tabor

It is beginning to get tough for the Seward County Saints not to start looking forward to the big prize at the end of the year.  After all, the Saints just jumped in the ITA National Rankings to #3, the programs highest ranking in school history, and Saturday they continued to have little resistance from their opposition, dropping just five total games in nine matches, annihilating visiting Tabor 9-0 to remain undefeated on the year at 5-0. 

 

Doubles play kicked off the afternoon on a glorious day at Blue Bonnet Park in Liberal.  Seward flexed their muscles early and often as Ronzai Saurombe and Vitor Galvao had no problem in #1 doubles, winning 8-0 while Tare Mariga and Paul Arslanian did the same at #3 to put the Saints on top 2-0.  In #2 doubles it was Felipe Casares and Alvaro Regnifo teaming up to take down Harrison Faber and Stephen Wilson 8-2 in what at the end of the day would be the closest match of the dual. 

 

Seward's dominance continued in singles action as Regnifo, Mariga, and Arslanian all won 6-0, 6-0 at #3, #5, and #6 singles respectively to seal the team win for the Saints.  10th ranked Saurombe downed Luis Navarette 6-0, 6-1 at #1 singles and 14th ranked Galvao did the same to Faber at #2 singles to make it 8-0 Saints.  In #4 singles Casares, ranked 31st in the latest ITA Rankings, beat Wilson 6-0, 6-1 as well to wrap up the sweep for the Saints. 

 

Seward took the dual 9-0 to improve to 5-0 on the year, its third straight sweep, all over four year competition.  The Saints individual records improve to 39-6 on the season. 

 

The Saints will take on their first NJCAA competition this week as they face Jayhawk rivals Barton and Cowley on the road Tuesday and Saturday in Great Bend and Arkansas City.
