3/7/2017 9:25:00 PM | Men's Tennis
NEW ORLEANS, LA. – The College of Charleston men's tennis team (6-3) got off to an overwhelming start Tuesday, allowing them to surge past New Orleans (4-3) 4-0 to complete the 2-0 sweep of Louisiana matches.
Â
The Privateers struck first in doubles play, picking up a 6-1 win to put the Cougars on the back foot. It would be the last match CofC dropped, responding with a 6-3 win by the Kusmider brothers in flight three, followed by a 6-2 win by Juan Estevarena and Vasily Kichigin in flight one to capture the point.
Â
The College continued the onslaught in singles play, ultimately winning the day with sound performances from the top three flights. Benedikt Henning got things started with a 6-2, 6-2 win over Federico Boscarino in the second flight to push the match to 2-0. Estevarena followed close behind with a 6-2, 6-3 win in flight one, and Vasily Kichigin won the day with a 6-4, 6-4 triumph over Federico Staksrud in flight three to win the day and halt the action.
Â
Ryan Khan appeared poised for a win in flight four, and was leading 6-3, 5-3 the CofC win halted his match. In the lower flights, Fernando Ramirez Lascurian and Jake Kusmider were both embattled with three-set thrillers before play came to an end.
Â
The College at last returns to the Lowcountry, and will make its long-awaited home debut against the Richmond Spiders on Friday.
