DAVIDSON, N.C. - After Duquesne took the doubles point, the Davidson men's tennis team was able to battle back in singles competition on its way to a 4-2 victory over the Dukes Monday on the Davidson Tennis Courts.
"It wasn't our best day in doubles today," said head coach Drew Barrett. "We had to dig deep and get it done the hard way. Duquesne battled hard and we had a few breaks go our way in the end."
With the Atlantic 10 victory, the Wildcats move to 5-5 overall while improving to 2-1 in conference competition. The Dukes record moves to an identical 5-5 overall and 1-2 in league play.
Duquesne started the day off strong, securing the doubles point with victories at No. 1 (6-0) and No. 3 (6-1) leaving the No. 2 court unfinished as Nico Pinzon and Udday Singh were leading 5-1.
Maxwell Kachkarov, on court four, cruised to a 6-1, 6-1 win before Pinzon kept his momentum into singles play with a 6-0, 6-2 triumph in the No. 6 spot for a second Davidson team point. Sebastian Carpio Moran battled to a first competitive 7-5 first-set win before stealing a clean 6-0 second set.
Juan Camilo Perez Gongora, who has found great success as the 'Cats No. 2 man and improves to 8-2 in singles action, picked up a three-set win. Perez Gongora lost the first set 7-6
Davidson will hit the road when they travel to O'Fallon, Ill. for a pair of A-10 contests first against Saint Louis March 8 at 6 p.m.
