The Tusculum College men's tennis team opened its annual spring break trip to Hilton Head with a 6-3 win over the University of Charleston Monday afternoon. The Pioneers (6-3) won four of the six singles matches to claim the win over the Golden Eagles (2-4) and earn their third straight victory overall.

In doubles play, the team of Lukas Winkelmann and Jonas Winkelmann beat James Gammell and Dennis Okoth by an 8-3 score at flight one, and Nicolas Planchard teamed with Leon Seiz for an 8-2 victory at flight three over Jacob Lorenz and Gabriel Seymour. Matthew Sherba and Davey Nelson earned the doubles point for Charleston with an 8-0 win at flight two.

In singles, Lukas Winkelmann boosted his record to 9-0 with a 10-6 tiebreaker win over Gammell after the players split the first two sets 6-1, 4-6 at flight one. Planchard also improved to 9-0 with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Sherba at flight two, but the win was sealed at the bottom of the lineup as Taylor downed Nicholas Bakos 6-2, 6-2 at flight five and Seiz rolled past Varun Shah 6-1, 6-0 at flight six. The Golden Eagles' singles points came from flights three and four, as Okoth and Lorenz atoned for doubles defeats with straight-set victories.

The Pioneers will continue their spring break trip on Tuesday at 11:30 a.m. against Shepherd.
