DAVIDSON, N.C. – The Davidson men's tennis team capped off its weekend with a hard fought 4-3 road win at East Carolina on Sunday afternoon to win their sixth match in the past seven and improve to 14-5 on the year.
The Wildcats finished the week 2-0 after defeating South Carolina State (6-1) on Saturday. The Pirates of ECU dropped to 13-9 with the non-conference loss.
Just like Saturday, Davidson opened the match by taking all three doubles spots, which turned out to be the deciding point. Senior Flaviu Simihaian (Nasaud, Romania) and junior Ethan Jaffee (Indianapolis) led the way by earning their team-leading 11th doubles win with an 8-6 triumph at No. 1. The duo have won six of their past seven doubles
matches.
Also scoring wins was the teams of senior Phillip Compeau (Wilkesboro, N.C.) and sophomore Eric Noble (Fayetteville, N.C.) at No. 2 and sophomore Sam Burns (Banner Elk, N.C.) and freshman Walker Lyons (Wallingford, Pa.) at No. 3.
Simihaian, Lyons and Burns then each tallied wins in singles action to led the Wildcats to the victory. All three 'Cats finished the weekend a perfect 2-0.
Davidson returns to Southern Conference play when it heads to Appalachian State on Apr. 11 for a 2 p.m. match.
