ANNVILLE, Pa. – Zach Schrader won in singles and doubles for the Lebanon Valley College men's tennis team on Saturday in a hard-fought 4-3 defeat to Southern Virginia University at the Shankroff Tennis Center in Annville.

The deciding match at number two doubles needed a tiebreaker to decide a winner. The teams then split the six singles matches, with LVC winning on courts one, five, and six.
