Miles
Boyea (St. Vincent, WI /Upper Canada) has been named Allegheny
Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) Men’s Tennis Player of the
Week for March 20. The sophomore won both of his conference matches
at #1 singles and #1 doubles this week.
Boyea, paired with sophomore Todd Guarnieri (New Castle/Neshannock)
defeated Pitt-Greensburg’s Josh Thorpe and Rob Pulcini 8-3 in
doubles. Boyea rolled in singles play 6-0, 6-0 over
Pitt-Greensburg’s Thorpe. Boyea and Guarnieri also edged Penn State
Altoona’s Alex Chang and Bill Stocker with an 8-6 win. Stocker,
Penn State Altoona’s #1 singles player, did not faze Boyea as Boyea
turned in an impressive 6-3, 6-4 victory. Boyea’s efforts assisted
the Lions in an 8-1 win over Pitt-Greensburg and only a one point
loss 4-5 to conference leader Penn State Altoona.
Coach Jeff Barger said, "Miles showed great improvement last week
and is beginning to put his singles game together. We look
forward to Miles continuing to improve and becoming a top player in
the conference."
The Behrend Lions are scheduled to host Seton Hill on March 25 at the
Westwood Tennis Club at 11:00am. The blue and white are currently third in
the AMCC with a record of 1-1 in conference play.
