BURLINGTON, N.C. – The No. 4 seeded College of Charleston men's tennis team (14-7) advanced to the semifinals on Friday, cruising past the James Madison Dukes (14-9) by a score of 4-0.
The Cougars will match up with No. 1 seeded UNCW on Saturday at 2 p.m. at the Jimmy Powell Tennis Center in Elon, N.C.
The Dukes snared the first match in doubles play, but the Cougars responded with a 6-2 win on court three to knot up the point. CofC then pulled off the win on court one by a score of 6-4 to go up 1-0 in the match.
In singles play, Fernando Ramirez Lascurian was the first player finished, defeating Tate Steinour 6-2, 6-4 on court five. Benedikt Henning was the next one through, overcoming Paul Mendoza 6-2, 7-5 in the second flight to put James Madison on the 3-0 brink.
Alec Angradi picked up the decisive fourth point in three sets, dispatching Miljan Ruzic 6-2, 0-6, 6-4 in the sixth flight. That's where action ended, despite the remaining Cougars on courts one, three and four all leading in their matches.
The College remains undefeated against James Madison ever since joining the CAA prior to the 2014 season.
