Box Score KALAMAZOO, Mich. -- Select members of the Kenyon College tennis team put forth their best efforts Friday and Saturday during play at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Central Region Championships, hosted by Kalamazoo College.

While all five Kenyon singles players made their way into the round of 32, two of the three Owls doubles teams produced the team's best finishes, making it to the quarterfinal round.

The first of those two doubles teams was the pairing of sophomores Paulo Pocasangre Kreling and Eliezer Gonzalez. In the field of 64 doubles teams, they received a bye in the first round and then defeated Shivam Dewan and Anthony VanOyen of The College of Wooster by a score of 8-4. In the third round they topped Colin Fox and Henri Ohl from Washington University in Saint Louis, 8-6, to make it to the quarterfinals. That, however, was the end of the line, as they were defeated in their next match, 8-6, by Ethan Green and Kael Shah from Denison University.

The path was similar for Kenyon's other top tandem, junior Eric Zhang and first-year Alejandro Gonzalez. After their first-round bye, they knocked off Grant Sarnowski and Logan Langovsky of John Carroll University by a score of 8-4. Next came an 8-6 victory against Scott Yamamoto and Sergiu Celebidachi from Washington University in Saint Louis. Their run came to an end, though, with an 8-3 quarterfinal loss to Anmay Devaraj and Sahil Dayal of Case Western Reserve University.

Kenyon's other doubles entry was juniors Rakkan Audeh and Rishil Kondapaneni. They played, and won 8-3, their first-round match against opponents from Alma College, but lost their second-round match, 8-3, to opponents from University of Chicago.

In singles play, five of those Owls made it to the round of 32 in a field that started with 128 players. Zhang, Pocasangre Kreling, Audeh and Kondapaneni all got a first-round bye, won their second round matches and then were defeated in the third round. Alejandro Gonzalez did not get a first-round bye, so he won his first two matches before falling in his next match.
