Hersh Ousted in ITA Semifinals
Johns Hopkins men's tennis junior Andy Hersh was defeated in the semifinals of the 2011 ITA National Small College Championship. He advanced to the championship by virtue of winning the ITA South Atlantic Regional.
Hersh beat fourth-seeded Amrik Donkena of Gustavus Adolphus, 6-4, 6-1 in the quarterfinals on Thursday. But he ran into top-seeded Dillon Pottish (Emory) in the semifinals and was ousted, 6-2, 6-2. Pottish will meet Washington University's Adam Putterman for the title.
Each small college division (NCAA Divisions II and III, NAIA and Junior/Community College) features eight singles players and eight doubles teams who earned spots into this national event by winning their respective USTA/ITA Regional Championships held over the past four weeks throughout the country. Over 8,000 student-athletes from NCAA Division I, II, III, NAIA, Junior and Community Colleges compete in the USTA/ITA Regional Championships held at 87 different college campuses across the country.
