Freshman Reiya Hattori leads Nittany Lions with four wins in collegiate debut

ITHACA, N.Y.- The Penn State men’s tennis team completed its fall schedule this past weekend at the Cornell Invitational. Eight Nittany Lions represented at the tournament, which included familiar opponents Cornell and Yale.  

Making his collegiate debut, and leading the Blue and White, freshman Reiya Hattori finished the weekend with four wins, including a sweep in the Doubles section with partner David Lindsay. Hattori’s two singles wins were collected against Yale’s Walker Oberg in a 6-3, 7-5 match and a perfect 6-0, 6-0 victory over Maxwell Moadel of Cornell. 

Three Nittany Lions earned three wins each, including Lindsay, Shri Murugesan and Alex Sterin. Besides his sweep in the Doubles category with Hattori, Lindsay secured a win in the Singles section over Luke Neal of Yale in a 7-5, 6-3 match. Partners Murugesan and Sterin swept the Doubles discipline as well, defeating Pinzon and Moadel of Cornell in an 8-4 matchup and capturing the victory over Yale’s Luke Neal and Walker Oberg, 8-3. 

The Nittany Lions have concluded their fall schedule and look to begin their regular season in January 2025.
