GLENSIDE, Pa. – Adam Warren broke the Lebanon Valley men's tennis career record for doubles wins on Saturday afternoon as the Dutchmen clinched a spot at the Middle Atlantic Conference Freedom Championship with a 5-2 win at Arcadia University in Glenside.
The Dutchmen (10-9, 3-0 MAC Freedom) got out to a great start against the Knights (9-5, 3-2 MAC Freedom) in a rematch of last year's Semifinal match. LVC won all three doubles courts to take the first point of the match. The Dutchmen then won four of the six singles matches to win the match and set themselves up for another possible home semifinal matchup against the Knights. Arcadia won at number one and number four singles.
