DAVIDSON, N.C. — For the first time this year, the Davidson men's tennis team blanked its opponent by taking a 7-0 win at home vs. The Citadel to net its second Southern Conference victory of the year on Sunday at the Knobloch Indoor Tennis Center.
The Wildcats (5-13, 2-5 SoCon) won their second league match in the last three, while earning their 20th win overall in the all-times series vs. The Citadel (2-25, 0-7 SoCon). The 'Cats pushed their winning streak to seven in a row in the series.
Davidson started the match by taking all three doubles positions, winning the doubles point for the eighth time this year. Robert Lightbourn and Connor Evins won at No. 1 by the score of 8-5 to even their record at 3-3 on the season.
The pair of Ethan Kallick and Evan Watkins cruised to an 8-1 decision at No. 2 for their third win together, and freshman Ricky Saad and Alex Howard won their first as a duo at No. 3 by the score of 8-6.
The winning continued into singles play with the Wildcats sweeping all six positions. Leading the way was J.B. Gough, who won his third match in a row to improve to 7-6 (4-3 SoCon) by taking an easy 6-2, 6-2 win at No. 4.
The senior trio of Lightbourn, Evins and Kallick took home victories at the top three spots. Lightbourn needed a third set, overcoming a 6-4 defeat in the first set to win 6-4 and 7-5 in the next two sets for his fourth win of the season.
Evins registered a 6-4, 6-1 win to collect his team-leading ninth victory of the season, while Kallick rolled to his fourth win in the last five matches behind a 6-0, 6-0 decision at No. 3.
The final two team points came from Watkins, who eased to a 6-1, 6-1 triumph at No. 5 and Saad, who evened his record at 3-3 with a nice 6-0, 6-3 victory at the last singles spot.
Davidson finishes out a three-match homestand against cross-county rival Charlotte, April 3, at 3 p.m.
