KENNESAW, Ga. - The Kennesaw State men's tennis team picked up a 5-2 win over ASA Miami at the Betty Siegel Courts on Saturday (Feb. 15).
 
Two extra singles matches and one extra doubles match were played which did not count towards the final score.
 
 "We did a good job of bouncing back in the singles after getting pushed around pretty good in doubles," Director of Tennis Matt Emery said. "We competed very well at every position in the singles. When we do that, we are very a very difficult team to beat."
 
ASA Miami would pick up the doubles point and grab a 1-0 lead. Sergio Ingles and Harvey Conway defeated Amine Zraidi and Gregorgio Ingles 6-4 to earn the Owls lone victory in doubles.
 
Freshman Harvey Conway got the Owls on the board with a 6-2, 6-4 win over Amin Zraidi at No. 4. The Silver Storm took a 2-1 lead after a win at No.2. KSU would take control of the match from there. Mritunjay Badola defeated Yassir Aknin  6-2, 6-4  to tie the match at 2-2. Gaston Muhammad gave KSU the lead for good when he knocked off Pawit Sornlaksup 7-6 (7-3), 7-5.
