ERIE, Pa. – Grove City College  posted victories in two of three doubles flight championships and went on to claim individual titles in the third, fifth and sixth individual flight championships on Saturday at the 2013 Presidents’ Athletic Conference (PAC) Men’s Tennis Championships to claim the school’s 23rd straight men’s tennis title.

The PAC Men’s Tennis Championships, which was contested at the Pennbriar Athletic Club in Erie, Pa., saw Grove City and Saint Vincent College enter the second and final day of competition tied in the team standings with 36 points. The Wolverines and Bearcats had players representing their programs in each of Saturday’s nine championship flights.

Grove City finished the two-day event with 46 total points. Saint Vincent was second with 44 points, followed by Thiel College in third (14), Westminster College in fourth (12), Waynesburg University in fifth (9), Thomas More College in sixth (7), Washington & Jefferson College in seventh (3) and Bethany College in eighth (0).

PAC Player of the Year (conference’s most valuable player) honors went to Saint Vincent freshman David Cenker, who earned an individual flight championship at first singles and teamed up with junior Anthony Nemanic to take home the number one doubles title.

Grove City first-year head coach Jeff Buxton was voted the conference’s coach of the year, while Scott Renninger and the Westminster program was voted the league’s sportsmanship award winner.
