(SANTA BARBARA, Calif.) Westmont Men's Tennis enjoyed their Saturday afternoon at home when they defeated the Cal Lutheran Kingsmen by a score of 6-1. Westmont started the day with a clean sweep in doubles, before taking five of six singles matches in their first win of 2025.
 
Austin Stone and Goor Adiv got it done 7-5 on line one, before the De Cooman brothers took care of business 6-4 on court two. For good measure, Owen Vander Ark and Valentin Dignac outlasted their opponents in a tiebreaker 7-2 to win the set 7-6.
 
In singles, Austin Stone continued a dominant campaign with a 6-3, 6-2 win on court one, and Diego De Cooman got the job done with a 6-2, 6-4 win on court two. Goor Adiv won a competitive first set 7-6 at line four, before carrying the momentum to a match-clinching 6-0 win in set two. Sid Maharana also took care of business on court six, where the newcomer defeated his opponent 6-3, 6-4.
 
Dignac capped off Westmont's scoring on line three, where he outlasted his opponent 4-6, 7-5, and 10-7.
 
"It was a solid team win," offered head coach Chris Elwood. "The momentum really started when we captured the doubles point. I was really proud of the guys to do that against a strong Cal Lu team. We ended up winning all of those, after being a down a break at both one and three. To come back and win those showed some great resiliency from the guys.
 
"That momentum clearly carried on into singles. Special shout out to Sid, who just got his first win at Westmont, and also to Val, who got his first win as well in a dual match. We'll be looking to carry this momentum into some training this week before our match against Concordia on Thursday."
