Box Score The College of Wooster men's tennis team failed to find the upset over 26th-ranked Oberlin College on Friday, falling 4-0 in the quarterfinals of the NCAC Men's Tennis Championships.
 
Held at Denison University, Wooster (10-7) entered as the sixth seed against the third seeded Yeomen. Oberlin (15-6) also rose in the ITA rankings from the last time the Scots played them on April 12, moving up eight positions.
 
The match started with a fight for the lone doubles point after the first two matches split. Ian Royse and Bennett Dickerson rose to the occasion in the No. 2 flight, taking a 6-3 win. However, in the No. 1 flight, Anthony VanOyen and Enzo Lopes fell 6-4.
 
The No. 3 flight saw Andrew Wissman and Walker Wood in a 4-4 stalemate while holding service. Wooster strung some points together but a volley into the net gave Oberlin a crucial game point. Wooster was unable to break a strong serve from Oberlin's side as the Yeomen took the match 6-4 and secured the doubles point. 
 
From there, the bottom of Oberlin's singles lineup proved too much for Wooster as all three flights finished in similar fashion.

The top three flights proved competitive before being forced to end due to the match already being decided.
 
At the No. 1 flight, VanOyen was in the middle of a first set tiebreaker, which he was winning 5-3. At the No. 2 flight, Royse lost a close first set, 6-4, and was even at 1-1 to begin the second set.
 
For Lopes in the No. 3 flight, he held a 6-3 advantage after the first set but trailed in the second set, 4-1
 
Oberlin advances to the semifinals to take on second-seeded Kenyon College. In the day's earlier match, DePauw University defeated Wabash College, 5-0 and will take on top seed Denison University in the semifinals.
