Dumas Sends Goucher Men's Tennis Into Landmark Conference Semifinals With Record-Breaking 66th Career Win

BALTIMORE, Md. - The remaining members of the Goucher College 2019 Landmark Conference Men's Tennis Tournament Championship team took the keys to the ignition and started the drive for five straight conference tournament crowns with a 5-2 win against Moravian College in the quarterfinals on Saturday. The Gophers will travel to play the No. 2 University of Scranton in the Landmark Conference Semifinals on Tuesday. Match time is 4 p.m.

Omosesan Adebamgbe (Philadelphia, Pa./Lower Merion), Slade Dumas (Great Falls, Va./Dominion), and Brian Kane (Philadelphia, Pa./Friends Select) each won their doubles and singles matches to account for the five points.

Adebamgbe and Dumas (No. 1 doubles) and Kane and Angel Cerpa (El Paso, Texas/Americas) (No. 2 doubles) both won 8-1 to give the Gophers a 2-1 lead in the match.

Kane then won 6-0, 6-0 at No. 2 singles, and Adebamgbe took care of No. 3 singles 6-0, 6-1 to push the Blue and Gold to one win away from clinching a spot in the Landmark Conference Semifinals on Tuesday.

Dumas, who broke the program record for career singles wins, along with tying the Landmark Conference career mark at Catholic on April 24, clinched the win with a 6-2, 6-0 victory at No. 1 singles. With the win, Dumas is the all-time career wins leader in Goucher and Landmark Conference history with 66 victories.
