DELAND, Fla. – The Kennesaw State men's tennis team advanced to the ASUN Conference semifinals with a 4-3 over Stetson on Saturday at the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center.
 
"Today was a good win for our program," Director of Tennis Matt Emery said. "The top of the lineup showed tremendous leadership in just taking care of business and getting off the court. For never being in that situation before in a conference tournament, Harvey Conway was just as clutch as they come."
 
The Owls won the doubles point and three singles matches to clinch the win.
 
KSU opened the doubles portion of the match with a 6-0 win by Kevin Patel and Sebastian Osorio over Sven Thiergard and Fabian Penzkofer on court three. Stetson would answer back with a win on court one. The Owls clinched the point when Gaston Muhammad and Raul Garcia defeated Linus Bergevi and Alexandre Hillhouse 6-4 on court two.
 
Sebatian Osorio extended the Owls lead to 2-0 with a 6-0, 6-3 win over Antoine Sanchez on court two. The Hatters tied the match with wins on courts one and six. Sergio Ingles beat Clement Hamel 6-3, 6-4 and pushed the Owls back in front 3-2. Stetson would get a three-set win on court four to even the match. Harvey Conway lost his opening set but rallied to win his final two to send the Owls to the semifinals with a 5-7, 6-4, 7-6 win over Fabian Penzkoffer on court five.
 
"Huge shoutout to Coach Pritchard as well for helping Harvey get through the match at the end. I was very thankful for my staff today."
  
The Owls will head to Jacksonville, Florida to face Liberty in the ASUN Semifinals on Friday, April 23.
