Carving a new name in the Intramurals’ Lawn Tennis history, the College of Agriculture (COA) Reapers established their domination in the court after snatching gold against the College of Education (COEd) Mentors with a 2-1 and 2-0 stretch in men’s and women’s categories respectively, at the University Lawn Tennis Court, October 9.
In the opening Singles A game, the Reapers took the lead as Randall Oculam outplayed Joshua Renz De Anas with a 6-2 brush.
The teams were evenly matched early in the Doubles A game until the Reapers committed some service errors, giving the Mentors an opportunity to lead by one, 5-6, eventually building up on this to seal the game at 5-8 with precise smashes and drop shots, assisted by Vince Kurt Cabinta.
However, Reapers capitalized on Mentors' consecutive service errors in Singles B, and with powerful smashes from Zedric Lubos, they stretched their lead, securing the game at 6-4, ultimately bringing home the gold for COA.
Randall Oculam, the team captain of the Reapers, shed light on their victorious strategy.
"Among coordination gid. Naa na sa amoa ang consistency, ang momentum and strategy. Dako jud kaayo ang tabang na naka-lead ko sa group na dedicated na madaog — pros kaayo to sa amoa. Isa pa, kay confident mi na gihatag namon ang among best," Oculam revealed in a post-match interview.
Meanwhile, in the Women's Category, the Reapers' netters also bagged the gold, blowing out the Mentors with a clean 2-0 spurt.
