DAVIDSON, N.C. — Playing the first time at home since February 18, Davidson dominated in getting back to its winning ways by taking a 6-1 decision over The Citadel on Sunday afternoon in Southern Conference men's tennis at the Covington Tennis Courts.

Davidson snapped a three-match skid to improve to 5-8 overall and evened its SoCon mark to 2-2. The Citadel fell to 4-10 overall and 0-4 in league play.
