Box Score It had been awhile since the men's tennis team stared at a deficit following doubles play in an OAC regular season match.
One would have to go all the way back to April 18, 2015. On that day, Capital took two of three doubles matches against the Blue Streaks.
Just as they did on April 15, 2015, the Blue Streaks rallied in singles play on April 12, 2017, to defeat Mount Union, 6-3, in Alliance.
