HARRISONBURG, Va. — The Davidson men's tennis team won its season-high fifth straight match with another 4-2 win on the road, this time at James Madison Sunday afternoon at Hillside Courts.

The Wildcats reached the double-digit mark in wins for the third time in the past five years, moving to 10-7 overall. They also ran their record vs. the Dukes (8-9) to 11-5 since 1988.

Unlike the day before at George Mason, Davidson had to come back from dropping the doubles point as JMU swept all three spots by the scores of 6-2, 6-4 and 6-3.

The 'Cats were up to the task, taking four of the five singles matches that were completed for the win. Junior Jordan Hart clinched the team win with a 7-4 tie-breaker victory in the second set to take a 6-2, 7-6 match at No. 5.

Artem Khrapko won his ninth match of the year with a 7-5, 6-1 win at No. 2 and Ricky Saad, who clinched the win at Mason Saturday, won his second straight after a 6-4, 6-3 victory at No. 4.

Keeping his personal singles win streak alive, and the tying the longest on the team this year, was Jack Riazzi at No. 6. The sophomore scored his fifth win in a row and his team-high 11th triumph overall with a 6-3, 6-3 decision.

Davidson hosts cross-county rival Charlotte next, April 6 at 3 p.m.
