Yaniv Kogan '18 was one of the many Soaring Eagles who performed exceedingly well in EC's non-conference match on March 17 against the Wildcats of the Penn College. The third-year netter earned victories at both fifth singles and third doubles, as Elmira rolled Penn College 9-0.
In doubles play, Kogan teamed up with
Anthony Colavito '20 to top the Wildcat duo of Austin Adams and Stephen Helminiak by an unblemished score of 8-0. Then in singles, the Modiin, Israel, native won 12 of the 13 games played and cruised to victory over Adams in straight sets, 6-0, 6-1.
The wins over the Wildcats marked the second consecutive match in which Kogan has swept play in singles and doubles, improving his overall record to 2-3 in both this season. He also moved into sole possession of sixth place all-time in program history in singles wins with 20, while equaling Eric Klinedinst '12 in overall wins with 37, a figure that's tied for 10th place all-time.
Kogan and the Soaring Eagles will hit the road for the first time this spring, as Elmira travels to Scranton, Pennsylvania, for a non-conference match against Marywood University on Thursday, March 23. The tilt with the Pacers is set to begin at 2:30 p.m.
