Three singles wins in three sets boost Pioneers to 6-1 SAC victory at Anderson

ANDERSON, S.C. --- Tusculum University used a sweep of doubles as a springboard to a 6-1 victory at Anderson University in South Atlantic Conference men's tennis action Saturday afternoon.

The Pioneers (4-1, 1-0 SAC) won their fourth straight match by winning three of the six singles matches in three sets against the Trojans (1-1, 1-1 SAC), rallying from a set down in two of the three victories.

In doubles, Leon Huck and Nemanja Subanovic defeated Thomas Pudney and Thomas Smalley 6-3 at flight one, Dmitry Bezborodov and Frank Bonacia teamed for a 7-6 (7-3) win at flight two over Adam Kush and Aaron Cabo, and Kenta Kondou and Jacco Mensinga posted a 6-2 win at flight three over Juan Cruz Moncada and Simon Wilson.

In singles play, Bezborodov defeated Moncada 6-1, 6-4 at flight one to give the Pioneers a 2-0 lead. Kondou then rallied for a 1-6, 6-2, 6-2 win at flight six over Lorenzo Martinetti to extend Tusculum's lead to 3-0, and Huck delivered the clinching point with a 6-0, 4-6, 6-3 win at flight four over Pudney.

Bonacia earned a 7-6 (8-6), 6-3 win at flight three over Spencer Snow and Subanovic downed Kush 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 at flight two. Only a tiebreaker win by the Trojans' Cabo at flight five kept the Pioneers from finishing off the shutout.

The Pioneers will return to the court for a match at Lincoln Memorial on Saturday, March 6 at 2 p.m.
