FREDERICKSBURG, VA — Goucher's run through the 2007
Capital Athletic Conference championship tournament came to an end
today when the Gophers suffered a 9-0 loss to top-seeded Mary
Washington.
The Gophers (5-9) were forced to default at sixth singles and third
doubles, but got strong performances in singles play from freshmen
Andrew Ortiz (Silver Spring, MD/Gonzaga) and
Michael Brooks (Old Westbury, NY/Solomon
Schechter). Ortiz dropped a tiebreaker, 7-3, to end the
first set of his match at No. 1 against Jason Dunn and fell in the
second set, 7-5; Brooks defeated Eric Sundstrom, 6-4, in the second
set at No. 2 only to have his opponent prevail in a
super-tiebreaker to earn the victory.
At No. 3, Jon Proffitt held off Chris Covey (Exeter,
NH/Exeter), 6-3, 6-3.
Ortiz and Covey were paired at first doubles for the Gophers and
suffered an 8-4 loss to Zach Detwiler and John James.
The Eagles (20-8) are gunning for their eighth straight CAC
title.
