MT. PLEASANT, S.C. - The College of Charleston men's tennis team won four-straight singles matches to counter a 2-0 early deficit to edge Georgia Southern, 4-3, on Senior Day at the CofC Tennis Center at Patriots Point.
The Cougars (13-3, 7-0 SoCon) lost a hard-fought doubles point as senior Mickael Trintignac and junior Kyle Parker improved to a team-best 14-2 on the season at No. 1 doubles with an 8-4 win over GSU's Andrew Dromsky and Alain Garrido.
The Eagles (1-19, 0-9), who have yet to win a Southern Conference match this year, rallied to win the doubles point with close battles at the No. 2 and No. 3 lines.
In singles play, Marco Osorio defeated junior Stephen Hardy, 6-2, 6-2, at No. 6 to increase the GSU lead to 2-0 in the match.
Straight-set victories by sophomore Crescente Lesser at No. 4, Mickael Trintignac at No. 1 and freshman Alon Faiman at No. 5 led to the eventual match-clincher by senior Tom Delme at No. 2 singles.
Up 40-30 in the final game of his second set, Delme returned serve on a back-hand winner to take down Alain Garrido, 6-4, 7-5, and keep the Cougars undefeated in league play at 7-0.
