GAMBIER, Ohio – Kenyon College sophomore Wade Heerboth paired up with senior Kevin Ye to record an 8-1 win at No. 3 doubles Saturday in the Jasper Tennis Center. The win was Heerboth's 26th doubles victory of the season, a Kenyon record, and it helped the Lords cruise to 9-0 win over the visiting Kalamazoo College Hornets.

Heerboth has played with two doubles partners this season. He is 13-3 with Ye, and is 13-1 with Robert Turlington. Heerboth's overall 26-4 mark broke the program's previous single-season record of 25 wins set by three different players. Heerboth also slid up to the No. 2 singles spot for just the second time this season and delivered a tidy 6-1, 6-2 win over Kalamazoo's Steve Hanselman.

Kenyon senior Paul Burgin also won both his singles and doubles matches Saturday. He rolled to a 6-2, 6-3 win over Peter Rothstein in the No. 1 singles match and also chalked up an 8-2 win at No. 2 doubles with partner Sam Geier. Those two wins put Burgin in a tie with Jeremy Polster '11 for Kenyon's top spot among all-time win leaders, counting both singles and doubles matches.

The Lords' other two-time winner Saturday was senior C.J. Williams. He knocked off Mike Korn, 6-3, 6-3, in the No. 3 singles match and earlier in the day teamed up with Michael Razumovsky to take an 8-2 win at No. 1 doubles.

Up next for the No. 2-ranked Lords, now 14-4 overall this season, is Carnegie Mellon University. The No. 16-ranked Tartans travel to Kenyon for an 11 a.m. match Sunday.
