Greenberg and Thacher exit in first round play at NCAAs


Senior Dan Greenberg, the 4th seed, was upset in the NCAA Singles Tournament when he fell to unseeded Randy Loden of Mary Washington in straight sets, 6-2, 6-1.

Greenberg was back in the afternoon with junior doubles partner Bret Thacher to take on 4th-seeded Guillaume Schils and Larry Wang of Claremont.

Today's match was the third time this season these two duos had met. Over spring break Thacher/Greenberg prevailed by a score of 8-6, but in the most recent match in the NCAA quarterfinals the Claremont duo came out on top 8-3.

Schils and Wang ended Greenberg and Thacher's season with a three set win this afternoon – 6-3, 3-6, 6-4.

"It was a fun match to end our season on," said Eph head coach Dave Donn. "Danny and Bret played really well and they had some chances to win the third set, but it just didn't happen today."

"Overall we had a great season," commented Donn.
