Wofford 4, College of Charleston 3

A three-set victory by Alex Fridzon was the deciding point for the Wofford men's tennis team in its 4-3 triumph over Southern Conference co-leader College of Charleston Monday afternoon at the Reeves Tennis Center in Spartanburg, S.C.

The Terriers evened the contest at 3-3 when senior Chris Barlow registered a 6-3, 6-2 win at the No. 2 singles slot against Marcus DiGliodo. Barlow, who was playing in his final home match and was recognized prior to the contest as part of Senior Day activities, improved his league record to 6-2 and overall mark to 11-7, setting a career best for victories.

Fridzon then tallied the clinching point with a 7-6, 2-6, 6-4 triumph over Justin Malina at the No. 3 position. Fridzon trailed in the final set and overcame cramps to his forearms and legs to gut out the victory.

Wofford received its third singles win, a 6-4, 6-0 decision, by freshman Scott Collins vs. Mike Reynolds at the No. 5 seed.

The Terriers also posted victories in two of the three doubles contests to earn the doubles point. At the No. 1 slot, Barlow and sophomore Andrew Stubbs garnered an 8-5 triumph against DiGliodo and Or Dekel, the SoCon's top doubles tandem.

Collins paired with junior Jeff Muthig for an 8-4 win over Reynolds and Ashok Ramachandra during the No. 3 doubles match.

"After the doubles matches were over, we met and knew it would take a courageous effort to win today," said head coach Rod Ray. "And, that is exactly what happened.

"We had a solid effort overall as this was a total team effort. Five different guys contributed wins, including some great victories in singles action by Chris, Alex and Scott. Our doubles teams also played very well."

Wofford, winners in three of its last four outings, improves its overall mark to 9-10 and evens the SoCon slate at 4-4. Charleston drops to 16-5, 7-2 in the league.

A 10 a.m. Saturday meeting with Georgia Southern in Statesboro, Ga., will close the regular season for the Terriers before they head to Charleston, S.C., April 20-23 for the Southern Conference Tournament.
