March 01, 2022 | Men's Tennis
BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. – Men's Tennis claimed a dominating 7-0 win over Hampton to begin Big South play with a win on Monday.
Â
"It's good to begin the conference schedule with a win," said Head Coach Mike Griffith. "Hampton pushed us in some matches, but proud to see the guys step up."
Â
Hampton only used five players leading to forfeits by them on doubles court 3 and singles court 6.
Â
Due to the forfeit, GWU only needed one win in doubles to clinch the point. The necessary win came from flight 2 as Alex Lepine and Cathal Butler won 6-0. This was the first time this pair has been used in a match this year. Also, in the topflight Numa Lemieux-Monette and Eduardo Dias won their match 6-0.
Â
Dias claimed his first win in position #1 for singles with a 6-2, 6-1 win today to start singles play for the 'Dogs. Chrisjan Van Wyk clinched the win for Gardner-Webb with a 6-1, 6-0 victory at #3.
Â
John Spring competed in position 5 for singles 6-2, 6-4, furthering Gardner-Webb's lead. Lepine won his seventh match in a row, this time on court 4 by a 6-4, 6-0 scoreline. The sweep was completed by Putter having a 6-4, 5-7, 1-0(10-6) decision in flight 2.
Â
The next match for Gardner-Webb will be on Tuesday, March 1 at S.C. State with a 2:00 start. Following this match, GWU hosts Presbyterian on Friday and travels to Longwood next Tuesday for two important matches in Big South play.
