03.30.2019 | Men's Tennis
Box Score
BUIES CREEK, N.C. – In a battle of two of the top teams in the Big South, UNC Asheville men's tennis dropped its first Big South Conference match of the season in a 5-2 loss to Campbell at the Nisbet Tennis Center.
"We had our chances today, but we were not able to take them," UNC Asheville men's tennis coach Tom Hand said. "There's a reason Campbell is the preseason favorite. They are a really good team. We need to regroup and come out firing again against Longwood tomorrow."
The match opened with Campbell (12-4, 5-1 Big South) taking the doubles point over UNC Asheville (16-3, 3-1 Big South).
The Bulldogs from there would take wins at No. 1 and No. 5 singles.
Henry Patten secured the win at No. 1 singles with a 2-6, 7-6, 6-1 win over Campbell's Dustin Werner. The win was Patten's team-leading 13th in singles this season. All of his matches have been played at No. 1 singles.
At No. 5, UNC Asheville's Charlie Morkel defeated Aaron Cabo of Campbell 6-0, 6-2.
The Bulldogs are back in action at 11 a.m. on Sunday, March 31, at Longwood.
