Men's Tennis Sweeps WSSU at Home Friday Afternoon
Feb. 8, 2008
Charlotte, N.C. - The Charlotte 49ers men's tennis team swept a 7-0 decision against visiting Winston-Salem State University this afternoon at the D.L. Phillips Tennis Complex in Charlotte. The men improve to 1-4 this season.
Charlotte gave up ten points on the day in nine matches. The doubles pair of Jesse Hutchinson and Jeff Archer improved to a team-best 6-4 this season with an 8-2 win at number-one singles over Brian Coxton and Ian Hunter. The Bernhoerster brothers (senior Felix and freshman Moritz) got the chance to play together for the first time this year, dispatching Ryan Lindquist and Daren Milbourne 8-1 at number-three doubles.
In singles play, freshman Michael Anders, the reigning A-10 Rookie of the Week, defeated Lindquist 6-0, 6-0 at number-two singles to improve to a team-best 4-1 in dual match play this year. Moritz Bernhoerster defeated Patrick Jenkins 6-0, 6-1 at number-five singles to push his dual match record to 3-2.
"Our goal was to play solid in a match we were favored in," said Niners men's coach Jim Boykin. "I felt good about the way we competed. We needed to get the win. We have a tough opponent tomorrow in USC. This was a great day to play tennis."
The men travel to Columbia, S.C. Saturday morning to take on the Gamecocks at 10 a.m.
