ASHEVILLE, N.C. - The UNC Asheville men's tennis team opened Big South Conference play with a thrilling 5-2 victory over league newcomer Campbell at the Asheville Racquet Club Downtown Saturday afternoon.

Ryan Matthews at #6 edged Ondrej Kralik 6-0, 2-6, 7-6. Asheville also got singles wins from Adrien Langeard at #1 and Tom Rees at #4
"I'm really proud of our guys for picking up this victory today," commented Bulldog coach Lise Gregory. "These were matches we might have lost in the past but today we won some three-set matches and got the job done. It was a tremendous team effort."
