DAYTON, Ohio — The Earlham College men's tennis team stayed unbeaten on Thursday as
the Quakers defeated Capital University 8-1 at the Dayton Center Courts.

The 30th ranked Quakers led 2-1 after the doubles action.

"We didn't play our best today, but give credit to Capital," Earlham Head Coach Adam
Van Zee said. "They are a much improved team from years past."

Kyle Richter and Phillip Locklear defeated Kenny Duncan and John Murray 8-2 at No. 2
doubles, while Brad Maisey and Andrey Gavrilov won by the same score over G.C.
DiMichelangelo and Jared Judson at No. 3.

In the singles competition, Locklear beat Luke Buchanan 6-4, 6-2 at No. 1. Richter
posted a 6-1, 6-3 victory over Kenny Duncan at No. 2.

At No.3, Jack Ventura-Cruess defeated Murray 6-2, 6-2 and Maisey took care of
Spencer Walter 6-0, 6-3 at No. 4.

Scott Lawrence defeated DiMichelangelo 6-2, 6-2 at No. 5. Gavrilov beat Judson 6-4,
6-2 at No. 6.

"If we don't pick up our play for this weekend, we won't even be competitive against
the level we will see," Van Zee said. "I was happy with Scott Lawrence and his
play."

The Quakers (7-0) travel to DePauw University on Saturday. Earlham plays the
University of Chicago at 2 p.m. Later in the day, the Quakers meet DePauw at 7 p.m.
