Win streak ends for men's tennis at Swarthmore

SWARTHMORE, Pa. - The Haverford College men's tennis team had their five-match win streak come to an end at Swarthmore College falling to the Garnet, 6-3, Tuesday afternoon in a Centennial Conference outing.

Haverford (8-4, 5-3 CC) got off to a good start in doubles action winning two of three taking a one point lead over Swarthmore (8-9, 7-1 CC) into the six singles matches.

Kevin Caulfield and Danny Himelstein defeated Swarthmore's Zak Kelm and Stephen Youngblood, 8-6, at No. 1, and Michael Gelberg teamed with Ankur Arya to take the No. 3 doubles match by the same score over the Garnet's Malik Mubeen and James Weiler.

The hosts took five of six singles matches, though, to overtake the Fords and win the match.

Caulfield earned Haverford's lone singles point defeating Youngblood, 6-4, 1-6, 1-0 (10), in a tense three-setter.

The Fords won't get a break in their next match with 10th-ranked, and league-leader Johns Hopkins University coming to Haverford's Bramall Courts Saturday morning at 11 a.m.
