Saturday, April 13
Weekend Highlights: The men's tennis team wrapped up its Northwest
Conference regular season on Friday and Saturday, April 12-13, with three
victories on the road. Whitman slipped past Willamette 6-3 on Friday and
then rolled over George Fox 9-0 and Linfield 8-1
on Saturday. The Missionaries, winners of eight straight matches,
finished their conference slate with an 6-1 record, good enough for
second place behind 7-0 Pacific Lutheran. Now 9-4 on the season, Whitman is enjoying its
best campaign since the 1986-88 glory years, when the nationally-ranked Missionaries
captured three straight conference and district titles. Against Willamette, in its toughest
match of the weekend, Whitman got singles victories from freshmen Akshay Shetty,
Haroon Ullah, Bryan Oliver and Charlie Larson. Partners Ullah-Shetty
at No. 1 doubles and Oliver-Larson at No. 2 doubles pulled out three-set victories,
winning in each case after losing first-set tie-breakers. Whitman breezed past George Fox
and Linfield on Saturday, with the only Missionary loss coming on a forfeit. Against
George Fox, Shetty at No. 1 singles won a first-set tie-breaker and eventually took
his match in three sets.
Doubles Doubles Doubles ******************************** Whitman's Akshay
Shetty took the No. 1 singles match in three sets, while Bryan
Oliver was a two-set winner at No. 3 singles. Shetty teamed
with Haroon Ullah to win a tough match at No. 1 doubles by
scores
of 6-4, 2-6, 7-6 (7-2). Duc Nguyen and Curtis Haynie gave
Whitman another victory at No. 3 doubles.
Singles Doubles ********************************
Singles Doubles Another highlight
for Whitman came in the No. 4 singles flight. Whitman senior Duc
Nguyen also won three straight matches to win that flight
championship. As flight champions, Shetty, Ullah and Nguyen
earned spots on the all-conference team. Ullah nearly gave
Whitman another title in No. 2 singles. After winning his first two matches on Friday,
Ullah lost the title match in three sets to Pacific Lutheran's Matt Braund on
Saturday. At No. 1 singles, Shetty rebounded from a tough
opening-round loss on Friday to win his final two matches. Whitman's
other entries in singles -- Bryan Oliver at No. 3, Charlie
Larson at No. 5, and Curtis Haynie at No. 6 -- all won on
Saturday to place third in their flights. Oliver and
Larson combined forces at No. 2 doubles and nearly earned Whitman
a title in that flight. After winning their first two matches,
Oliver-Larson lost their championship showdown by scores of 7-6,
7-5. In No. 3 doubles, Nguyen and Haynie bounced back from
an opening-day loss to win twice on Saturday and place fifth. Pacific
Lutheran won five of the six singles flights to easily capture the
conference title. As the NCIC champion, PLU will send its entire team to
the NAIA national championships. Winners of the No. 1 singles and doubles
flights, if not on the conference champion team, also advance to
nationals.

"It was a good, close match," Whitman coach John Witter said. "A
lot of the games were close. A couple more points and we could have been
in a tiebreaker in the second set."
Still recovering from an apparent case of food poisoning, Ullah
played the match at about 85 percent of his normal energy level,
Witter said. "Haroon felt much better after we got
him rehydrated and some food to stay down," he noted. "He had
gained most of his strength back by the time the match was played,
although he still felt a little weak."
Ullah had to forfeit his first-round singles match on Monday after
becoming ill during the night.
"You can never know, but if Haroon had been healthy there might have been
a different outcome," Witter said. At the same time, he
added, "Wassmer and Oosterhaus are pretty tough players. They are
older, a little more experienced and a little bit better. Wassmer is a Boris
Becker look-alike. Just a big ol' moose."
Shetty lost his singles match Monday to another player from
Ouachita Baptist, which ended Tuesday's play in fourth place in the
tournament team standings.
"This was a great learning experience for our guys," Witter said.
"They learned a lot about what they need to do to come back here and have
a chance to win."
Medical personnel at the tournament said food poisoning was "more than
likely" the cause of Ullah's illness, Whitman coach John
Witter said. Ullah began vomiting at about 1 a.m. Monday, and
his condition did not stabilize for about nine hours. Witter
said Monday that Ullah hopes to recover in time for his first-round
doubles match with Shetty at 2:30 p.m. today (Tuesday).
"He's up and around now, and we're trying to get him loaded up
on fluids. I think he's doing better. It's just a matter of
getting him rehydrated."
Witter said Ullah apparently ate some tainted food at a
Sunday evening banquet for the players and coaches. "It's
unfortunate that it happened, but it could have happened to anyone,"
Witter said. "Haroon was just broken up by it. Now he's trying to
pull himself together for the doubles competition." Conditions
for Shetty's singles match were very windy, Witter noted. "The
guy Akshay was playing was very consistent," Witter said. "He
didn't make any mistakes, and he just kept the ball coming back over the
net. That's the way you have to play in the wind."
