DAVIDSON, N.C. – By taking five of the six singles matches to go along with two of the three doubles matches, the Davidson men's tennis team secured its second straight win of the 2008 campaign with a 6-1 home win over Longwood on Saturday afternoon at Knobloch Tennis Center.
Davidson ran its record to 2-1, while the Longwood Lancers suffered its fifth loss of the season to drop to 0-5.
Senior Phillip Compeau (Wilkesboro, N.C.) and sophomore Eric Noble (Fayetteville, N.C.) scored their first one of the season at No. 1 doubles with an 8-2 win, and sophomore Sam Burns (Banner Elk, N.C.) and freshman Walker Lyons (Wallingford, Pa.) finished off the doubles point with an 8-3 win at No. 2 to give Davidson a 1-0 lead heading into singles play.
Seeing their first action as a doubles team was junior Ethan Jaffee (Indianapolis, Ind.) and Carter Braxton (Charlotte, N.C.) at the No. 3 spot. It was Braxton's first official collegiate match of the season.
Jaffee in his first match of the season at No. 1 singles, scored a 7-6, 6-1 win to lead four other Wildcats to two-set singles wins on the afternoon. Three of the sets went to a tie-breaker, but Davidson earned wins in each one.
