CHENEY, Wash. - Gonzaga University freshmen men's tennis player Scott Sullivan capped his solid week of play by winning the Singles Consolation bracket at the GU/EWU Classic played at Eastern Washington University Sunday.

The Pullayup, Wash. native beat Kyle Erickson from Portland State University 6-4, 6-0 in the Sunday morning finale to finish with a 5-1 record in his first career collegiate tournament for the Bulldogs.

"Scott played better in each match throughout the tournament, he was very impressive this weekend, " said head coach Peter MacDonald.
