13th-ranked Queens rallies for 4-3 win over Pioneers

CHARLOTTE, N.C. --- Queens University of Charlotte won the final three singles matches to rally for a 4-3 victory over Tusculum University in South Atlantic Conference men's tennis action at the Howard Levine Tennis Center Saturday afternoon.

The 13th-ranked Royals (9-2, 7-1 SAC) won the doubles point, but dropped the first three singles matches to the Pioneers (7-2, 3-1 SAC), who entered the match with seven straight wins. However, the Royals pulled out a three-set win at flight two and earned two straight-set victories to complete the comeback.

In doubles, the Pioneers dropped two out of three matches with the lone win coming at flight three as Kenta Kondou and Manuel Guedes de Almeida defeated Berk Enc and Jan Malmon 6-4.

The Pioneers won the first three matches in singles, as Dmitry Bezborodov beat Edoardo Bottino 6-4, 6-1 at flight one, Leon Huck defeated Yoan Roussinov 6-1, 7-5 at flight four and Almeida beat Enc 6-2, 6-3 at flight five.

The Royals would rally to within 3-2 with a straight-set win at flight six, and tied the match at flight two as Paolo Bompieri came from a set down to beat Nemanja Subanovic 3-6, 6-3, 6-3. A straight-set win at flight three would clinch the match for Queens.

The Pioneers will play their first home match in 40 days when they host Coker on Monday, March 22 at 1 p.m. at the Nichols Tennis Complex.
