FLORENCE, S.C. - After rain washed away the original opening day schedule for the NJCAA Division I Men's Tennis Championships on Monday, Northwest and several other teams were forced to cram in multiple rounds of competition on Tuesday.

In spite of the condensed schedule, the Rangers had a solid showing in doubles competition, winning all three matches in the main draw. Northwest also picked up singles victories from Holden Cooke and Luca Morris, with Morris earning a 6-1, 6-0 victory against Flex Howard (Marion Military Institute) in flight one and Cooke taking a 6-2, 6-1 win against Colton Pazdera (Southwestern Illinois College) in flight three.

In doubles, the duo of Morris and Joshua Tedford captured a gritty three-set battle against Evan Bernales and Dwayne Daarol (College of Lake County), earning the 5-7, 7-5, 6-3 decision in the main draw of flight one. Cooke and Miguel Lazaga Robayna followed with a 6-3, 6-0 triumph in flight two doubles against Taylor Miyatani and Nicolas Romero (Mesa Community College).

Meanwhile, the duo of Gabe Koonce and Cole Stoddard picked up a commanding 6-1, 6-2 victory against Mark Hornung and Vinny Marino (College of Lake County) in flight three doubles. 

Cooke, Lazaga Robayna and Morris all played additional singles matches late on Tuesday, with both Cooke and Morris falling in the Round of 16 main draw events. Cooke dropped a 6-1, 6-0 loss to Valentin Greco (Cowley) in flight three, while Morris fell 6-0, 6-1 to Minjae Kim (Collin) in flight one.

However, Lazaga Robayna rebounded from his 6-0, 6-0 opening round loss to Alberto Perez (Eastern Florida State College), defeating Anderson Fernandes (Marion Military Institute) by an 8-6 margin in flight two.

Stoddard, Tedford and Brady Holliman all fell in their opening round singles matches on Tuesday, with Tedford offering up a tough three-set battle to Nils Guyot (Coastal Alabama-North) in flight five. Holliman dropped a 6-0, 6-3 loss in flight six to Aaron Gutierrez (USC-Sumter) and Stoddard lost 6-4, 6-3 to Unai Llerna Perez (Harford Community College) in flight four.
