Playing at the top of the singles lineup for the first time, Nick Scott picked up the decisive point in Central College’s 5-4 win over Northwestern College in men’s tennis Saturday.

The Dutch (4-6) and Red Raiders (5-5) were tied 4-4 with just the No. 1 singles match left on the court. Scott won the first set 7-5 but dropped the second one 7-6. He secured his match and the team match by winning the tiebreaker set 10-7.

Central got off to a good start in doubles, winning at both No. 2 and No. 3. Trey Melvin and Matthew Den Adel won 8-3 at No. 2 and Alejo Marcon and AJ Wilkins were victorious at No. 3 by the same score. Den Adel had another 2-0 night, blanking his opponent 6-0, 6-0 at No. 6 singles.

Central is slated to host Concordia University (Neb.) at 4 p.m. on Tuesday.
