Sea Lions stay alive with sweep of Vulcans

WAIPIO, Hawaii - The Point Loma men's tennis team swept doubles and then got points in singles from Daniel Milliken and Jakob Kevelaerts to prevail over Hawaii Hilo 5-0 on Friday, Apr. 19 at the Pacific West Championships.

The win moves PLNU (8-16) into the finals of the consolation bracket where it will face BYU-Hawaii on Saturday at 11:30 a.m.

The Sea Lions dominated at No. 2 and No 3 doubles. The duo of Bram Kevelaerts and Michael Zablan won at No. 2 double 8-1. Daniel Milliken and Kaptan Kaster where nearly as dominant as they cruised to an 8-2 win. Brooks Baldinger and Jakob Kevelarts found themselves in a battle at the No. 1 spot with Tom Greer-Smith and Kainoa Rosa but edged the Vulcan duo 9-7.

PLNU took a 3-0 lead into singles. Jakob Kevelaerts and Milliken would not leave much to doubt as each won their singles match in straight sets to secure the win for Point Loma. Keelaerts won 6-4 and 6-0 at No. 3s. Milliken posted a 6-1 and 6-1 victory at No. 5.
