ASHEVILLE, N.C. – The UNC Asheville men's tennis team closed out its Senior Day celebration by shutting out Hampton 7-0 in dominant fashion at the Asheville Racquet Club Downtown on Saturday afternoon.
"I'm happy for the win today. The guys did a good job," UNC Asheville men's tennis head coach Tom Hand said. "They came out and didn't have anything other than the sense of urgency that the situation required. We have now put ourselves in a situation to do something special with the chance to compete for a conference championship. We are excited about that opportunity because they don't come around very often. We have worked extremely hard to put ourselves in this spot and we are looking forward to seeing if we can finish the job."
UNC Asheville is now 19-3 on the season and 6-1 in the Big South Conference (Full Standings). The Bulldogs closed out the home portion of their schedule with an undefeated 10-0 record on their home courts.
The Bulldogs won the doubles point with a 6-0 win at No. 2 from Olly Cull and Sirawit Daosaengsawang. Hampton did not field a team at No. 3, giving UNC Asheville the doubles point with the win at No. 2. The match at No. 1 was left unfinished.
The Bulldogs dominated the singles portion of the match with six victories. Freshman Leo Bierbaum kicked things off with a 6-2, 6-0 win at No. 4. Quinn Fender followed with a 6-2, 6-2 victory at No. 5.
Senior Olly Cull grabbed the match-clinching victory at No. 2 with a 6-2, 6-2 defeat of Luke Thompson. Daosaengsawang played at No. 1 for the second time this season and picked up a 6-1, 6-2 victory.
Charlie Morkel won his team leading 15th match of the season 6-2, 6-2 at No. 3. Hampton did not field a player at No. 6, giving UNC Asheville the 7-0 victory.
Next the Bulldogs will play their final match of the regular season when they travel to Boiling Springs, N.C. on Tuesday, April 9 to face off with Gardner-Webb at 3 p.m.
