How It Happened
 
* Abington's first flight doubles duo of sophomores Daniel Trott and Kaan Ofluoglu won their first match as partners with a 6-4 victory over Elizabethtown's Stefanos Billis and Austin Kohler.  With the score tied at 4-4, the Nittany Lions got a break and Trott held serve leading to the final two points of the match.
 
* Elizabethtown picked up the win at second doubles and won third doubles by default and as a result earned the team point in doubles.
 
* In singles play, Ofluoglu defeated Brian Hall in straight sets after cruising to a 6-1 victory in the first set.  The second set turned out to be a lot closer as the two went to a tie-break.  Ofluoglu never trailed Hall in tie-break and earned the final point on the ace to take the set, 7-6.
 
* Freshman Aaron Zheng earned his first collegiate victory with a straight sets victory over Connor Gurekovich at fourth singles.  Zheng won the first set by the score 6-4 after trailing 4-2 earlier in the set.  He went on to take the match with a 6-2 victory in set two.
 
* The Bluejays on first, second and fifth singles while earning the point at sixth singles by default to account for four team points in singles play.

Today marked the third meeting between Abington and Elizabethtown since the start of the 2022 season.  The Nittany Lions are now 1-2 versus the Bluejays in the all-time series.
