Wins in three of the five completed singles matches were enough to give the Tusculum College men's tennis team a 5-3 victory over the University of Charleston Tuesday night.

The start of the match was pushed back nearly 10 hours by morning rain, but the Pioneers (5-4) used a pair of sweeps in doubles action to take and hold the lead over the Golden Eagles.

Lukas Winkelmann starred for the Pioneers in the match, winning his singles contest 6-1, 6-2 at flight one over Matthew Sherba, after teaming with Nicolas Planchard for an 8-0 win over Samuel Humphrey and Dennis Okoth at flight one of doubles.

Also picking up singles wins were Paul Wiederspahn, who defeated Okoth 6-2, 6-1 at flight four, and Daniel Gianopulos, who was a 6-1, 6-1 winner over Nicholas Bakos at flight six.

The Pioneers' other doubles win came when Jonas Winkelmann and John Taylor shut out Sherba and Richard Williams by a score of 8-0.

Tusculum will wrap up its Spring Break trip Wednesday morning against Division III Dickinson College.
