Hornet Men's Tennis Cage Panthers of Ferrum College 7-2
LYNCHBURG, VA - The Lynchburg College men's tennis team won its second straight match Thursday afternoon, knocking off non-conference rival Ferrum College 7-2 in play from the LC Courts.
The LC (3-10) tennis teams back-to back wins is the first time this season that has happened, as LC got a big day from Brandon Brown (Lynchburg, VA/Heritage), who was playing the school he transferred from this year.
Brown won his No. 2 singles match 5-7, 6-4, 10-6 (super tie-breaker), while teaming with Kyler Paluga (Williamsburg, VA/Lafayette) to take their No. 2 doubles match 8-5. Paluga also shined at No. 5 singles, winning a super tie-breaker 10-5 after winning the first set 6-2 and falling in set two 3-6.
Brian Nelson (Charlotte, NC/Home Schooled) added two wins to the pocket of LC, as he took his No. 4 singles dual four and four. Nelson also played with Kristian Richardson (Trenton, NJ/Hun School of Princeton) for a 8-3 No. 1 doubles win.
Robert Martin (Madison Heights, VA/Amherst) cruised to a straight set win in No. 6 singles, two and one, while winning at No. 3 doubles with Nicholas Carroll (Atlanta, GA/Holy Innocents) 8-4. Ferrum College got wins from Bob Dill at No. 3 singles and John Hartin at No. 1 singles.
Lynchburg will travel to Guilford College Tuesday, April 14 for a league match with the Quakers.
