CHARLESTON, S.C. - The College of Charleston men's tennis team continued its dominance through its Southern Conference regular-season slate by defeating The Citadel, 6-1, in a crosstown rivalry match held on Tuesday afternoon at the Earle Tennis Center.

The Cougars (14-3, 8-0 SoCon) have now won seven in a row with two remaining matches left to play to secure a No. 1 seed in the upcoming 2012 SoCon Tennis Championships to be held on April 19-22 at both school's home facilities in Charleston and Mt. Pleasant.

The Bulldogs (5-16, 0-9 SoCon) didn't go down without a fight. Two of the three doubles matches went into an extra game as senior Mickael Trintignac and junior Kyle Parker won their sixth consecutive match, 9-8, at the No. 1 line. The duo defeated The Citadel's top tandem of David Orces and James Atkinson, while sophomore Crescente Lesser and freshman Alon Faiman won 9-7 over Elliott Sperr and Alex Howle at No. 3 to give the Cougars the early 1-0 lead in the match.
