RALEIGH, N.C. – The Davidson men's tennis team opened its 2008 season on the road at N.C. State and suffered a 7-0 setback on Saturday afternoon in Raleigh, N.C. Davidson falls to 0-1, while the Wolfpack earned their second win of the day in the second match of a triple-header.
The Wildcats tandem of senior Flaviu Simihaian (Nasaud, Romania) and junior Ethan Jaffee (Indianapolis, Ind.) scored the only win on the day in either singles or doubles as they earned an 8-6 triumph at No. 1 doubles.
Sophomore Tareq Alani (Chapel Hill, N.C.) was very close to scoring a singles win. In just his second collegiate singles match, Alani battled Daniel Schinke at No. 6 singles much of the afternoon before Schinke earned a 6-4, 6-3 match to close out the 7-0 win for the Wolfpack.
Seeing their first collegiate spring action was the talented freshmen duo of Walker Lyons (Wallingford, Pa.) and Arie Hefter (Birmingham, Ala.), who played at No. 3 and 5 singles. Lyons was shutout, 6-0, 6-0, while Hefter earned two game wins, dropping a 6-1, 6-1 decision to Frideric Prandecki.
Lyons also teamed up with junior Scott Myers (West Palm Beach, Fla.) at No. 3 doubles where they came up short in an 8-4 match against the Wolfpack's Welter and Rozek.
Davidson will look to regroup when it opens its home slate of matches on Jan. 27 with a meeting against USC Upstate at 1 p.m. in Knobloch Tennis Center.
