Championship

Christian Sasam came into the ASC Individual Championships
as the #3 seed, but he left Tyler, TX with the
#1 flight singles trophy. On his way to
the title, Sasam defeated three ASC foes,
including David Ashlock from host UT-Tyler in
the championship final, 7-6, 6-1. The top
three seeds got byes in round one. In
round #2, Sasam knocked off Hardin-Simmons' Ryan
Waters 7-6, 3-6, 6-2. He then beat overall
#1 seed Eric White of Mary Hardin-Baylor in the
semifinals by a 6-3, 6-3 count before beating
Ashlock.
The rest of the Mountaineer men's team weren't
quite as successful. Freshman Carlo Sasam,
sophomore Trey Brannen - who is recovering from
knee surgery, junior Brent Coleman, freshman Ben
Jackson, sophomore Zach Browning and freshman
Stephen Franklin won one match each in their
respective flights. |
