The Colby men's tennis team traveled to Bates this past weekend for the men's state tournament. The Mules faced opponents from Bowdoin, Bates and the University of Southern Maine, but in the end they rose above the field, disman- tling the competition. The play of the Mules' doubles teams highlighted the weekend. Colby owned both spaces of the doubles finals on Sunday asGeorge Markell '92, and co-captain Jim Conrad '92, faced off against fellow teammates Jon Yormak '93, and co- captain Mark Longsjo '92. Markell and Conrad came out on top and proved they are the best doubles combination in Maine.
