DAVIDSON, N.C. -- The Wildcats' men's tennis team concluded play at its own Davidson Invitational on Sunday, building off of Saturday's success and picking up seven wins along the way.
"We showed a lot of determination to finish off today's tournament," said head coach Drew Barrett. "The guys brought a lot of energy and support for each other, which helped them close out some tough matches. It was a good step forward and I'm happy to see their improvement each week."
Davidson kicked off the morning with a dominant doubles display, as the team's top doubles unit of Alejandro Solares and Maxwell Kachkarov pulled off a thrilling 7-6 victory over Gardner-Webb from court one. The Bulldogs were no match for the Wildcats' No. 2 and 3 teams either, as Nico Pinzon and Juan Camilo Perez Gongora earned a 6-1 win at court two and Jerry Wang and Udday Singh combined for a 6-3 win from court three.
Later in the day, against UNC Asheville, Solares and Kachkarov also found success on the singles courts. Solares, who competed in Davidson's top singles spot, fell behind 2-6 in the first set but bounced back with 6-2, 10-7 victories in the second and third to win the match and remain undefeated this fall. From No. 2, Kachkarov also battled through three sets, dropping the first 0-6 before rebounding with a 6-4, 10-4 win.
Brooks Green and Pinzon also saw success from the singles court against Asheville, as Green won two-straight sets, of 7-6, 6-4, from No. 5 while Pinzon stole two 6-2 sets from court six.
The Wildcats will take a break this weekend, before returning to the courts to battle at the UNCG Invitational Oct. 15-17.
