Box Score WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Bryce Jones (South Williamsport, Pa./South Williamsport) and Evan Bennetch (Mechanicsburg, Pa./Bible Baptist School) have grown into the kind of program players that every team needs and on Monday afternoon, Sept, 5, the seniors delivered season-opening wins in both singles and doubles action to lead the Lycoming College men's tennis team to a 9-0 win over Penn College on a sunny Labor Day at Bruce Henry Park.
  As freshmen, Jones and Bennetch played on a team that fell, 7-2, to the Wildcats during a winless campaign, but four years later, the Warriors (1-0 overall) dominated all flights, with only Bennetch allowing more than three games to an opponent.
 
The Warriors swept doubles play, with the No. 2 team of Bennetch and freshman Mitch Wheary (Lock Haven, Pa./Central Mountain) posting an 8-1 win over Ben Morton and Austin Adams and the No. 1 team of Jones and junior Rob Smith (Middleburg, Pa./Selinsgrove) notching an identical 8-1 win over Blake Whitmore and Ethan Rosler.
 
Playing shorthanded, the Wildcats (0-1 overall) gave up points at No. 3 doubles and No. 6 singles, so a 6-2, 6-0 win by High over Adams at No. 5 clinched the match. Smith added a 6-0, 6-1 win over Rosler at No. 2 and Wheary downed Morton, 6-2, 6-0, at No. 4 to make it 7-0 and leave the two seniors on the court.
 
Jones polished off a 6-2, 6-2 decision over Blake Whitmire at No. 1 and Bennetch clinched the shutout with a 6-1, 6-3 win over Matthew Elliott at No. 3 for his 10^th career singles win.
 
The Warriors get back on the court on Saturday, Sept. 10, when they head to defending MAC Freedom champion Wilkes for an 11 a.m. match.
