CHARLESTON, S.C. – The College of Charleston Men's Tennis team returns home for a three-match weekend starting with Duquesne on Friday, March 6 at 3 p.m., followed by a double header on Saturday, March 7 against UNC Asheville and Methodist at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., respectively.
The Cougars
The Cougars currently hold a 5-5 overall record so far this season. The College looks to bounce back after two consecutive losses against Furman (4-3) and Elon (6-1).
CofC's five wins come against Belmont Abbey (6-1), NC A&T (6-1), Bethune-Cookman (4-3), Florida A&M (6-1) and North Greenville (7-0).
Easton Thomas leads the team in singles play with an 8-1 record, with a 5-0 record at the No. 5 position. Robby Krick comes in at second with a 7-2 record in singles play.
Scouting Duquesne
Duquesne comes into the match with an overall record of 3-8 and a 0-4 record in A-10 play. The Dukes currently ride a three-match losing skid, most recently falling to conference foe Davidson. Director of Tennis Vanessa Steiner is in the midst of her fourth season at the helm of both the men's and women's programs. This will mark the first matchup between the two programs.
Scouting UNC Asheville
Asheville enters the match with a 6-5 overall record, riding a three-match win streak. In the Bulldogs most recent matchup, they came out on top against Winthrop in a closely fought match, 4-3. Asheville is perfect at home this season with a 4-0 record but hold just a 1-4 record on the road. Head coach Tom Hand is in the midst of his seventh season at the helm of the program. Hand led the Bulldogs to their first 20-win season in program history.
Scouting Methodist
The Monarchs currently holds an overall record of 0-9 but is set to play The Citadel on Friday, March 6. They most recently fell to Barton College by a narrow score of 4-3 on Feb. 25. This marks only the second matchup between the Cougars and the Monarchs with Charleston taking the first meeting with a clean 7-0 sweep.
Head Coach Jay Bruner
"We are ready to get back onto our home courts and welcome a tough weekend of play. We are at the halfway mark of the season and have been talking this season about learning from each match. This next half of the season will get us to the final test and we are glad to start it at home."
