KENNESAW, Ga. – The Kennesaw State men's tennis team clinched a 5-2 victory over Georgia Southern on Monday at the Betty Siegel Courts. The win was KSU's ninth consecutive at home dating back to last season.
 
"Obviously, this was a tricky match from the standpoint of having to come back and finish after a day in between," said KSU Director of Tennis Matt Emery. "I thought Georgia Southern did a great job of coming out ready to play today on every court, right from the first ball. We did a very good job of that as well. Raul and Conway, getting two quick points on the board, really put their backs against the wall and set up Anthony and Seru to close it out."
 
KSU came out strong securing the doubles point. David Leon/ Hugo Salmeron collected a 6-4 win on court two, while Seru Tezuka/ Anthony Weingarten dominated on court three with a 6-1 victory.
 
The Owls (5-0) continued their momentum collecting four singles wins to secure the victory over the Eagles. Harvey Conway defeated Aaron Williams with a 6-2, 2-6, 6-3 win, as Raul Garcia followed up with a tight win over Pol del Castillo 3-6, 6-3, 6-1. Anthony Weingarten clinched the match claiming a 3-6, 7-6, (7-4), 6-2, victory over Alexandros Roumpis. It was Weingarten's third consecutive clinch of the season. Seru Tezuka dominated court four defeating Pierre Mouesca 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 to close out the match.
