WEXFORD, Pa. -- The Grove City College men's tennis team closed the 2022-23 season Saturday afternoon with a 5-1 setback to top-seeded Allegheny in the championship match of the Presidents' Athletic Conference Championship Tournament, held at Oxford Athletic Club.
Second-seeded Grove City (13-6) earned its team point at third doubles as senior
Adam Scharnagl (Hinesville, Ga./Bradwell) and freshman
Benjamin Jones (Clayton, N.C./Clayton) teamed for an 8-3 victory.
Allegheny led 2-1 after doubles, however, and then secured three singles wins to take the match.
Scharnagl and senior
Ryne Talko (Cresson, Pa./Bishop Guilfoyle) will graduate from the program next month. Talko started at both first singles and first doubles this season for the Wolverines, who have gone 38-13 with two NCAA Tournament appearances over the last three years.
