DAVIDSON, N.C. — The Davidson men's tennis registered its first win of the Spring season by scoring a 5-2 decision over Presbyterian at home Saturday inside the Knobloch Tennis Center.
Â
The Wildcats (1-2) won the doubles point and then took four of the six singles matches to improve to 7-2 all-time vs. the Blue Hoses (0-3), who were the Big South Champions a year ago and reached the NCAA Tournament.
Â
"It was a nice win by the guys today," said head coach Drew Barrett. "We regrouped well after falling in a long, tough match Thursday and picked up a good win against last year's Big South champs."
Â
David Hager and Shamael Chaudhry earned the doubles point for the 'Cats by winning a 7-3 tie-breaker at No. 2. Winning their second straight was Artem Khrapko and Axel Fries at No. 1, cruising to a 6-1 decision.
Â
Hager, Chaudhry and Fries each carried over their strong play into singles action by scoring wins at No. 3, 2 and 4. The senior Hager needed an extra set, but pulled out a 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 victory, while fellow classmate Chaudhry also won his first of the season with a 6-3, 6-1 win.
Â
Fries moved to 2-1 on the season after he took a 6-0, 6-4 victory for his 20th career win in just two seasons.
Â
Remaining undefeated was Thomas Mason after he gave up just one game in a 6-0, 6-1 win for the Wildcats final point.
Â
Davidson plays the final of a four-match homestand to start the year against East Carolina, Feb. 3, at 1 p.m.
