KENNESAW, Ga. — After six consecutive road matches, Kennesaw State men's tennis returns to Betty Siegel Courts for a three-match homestand with UAB, Lipscomb and Presbyterian visiting March 20 and 22-23.

KSU won five of six matches on the road, beginning with a 4-2 defeat of Georgia Southern on Feb. 21. A pair of wins at UNC Asheville (4-0) and VCU (4-1) were then followed by taking two of three matches in the Battle at the Beach multi-team event in Wilmington, North Carolina March 10-13.

The Owls opened the Battle at the Beach with a 4-1 win over Lehigh, then won their second match in a 4-3 defeat of William & Mary. Host UNCW got the better of KSU in a 0-4 decision on March 13.

Singles play continues to be the Owls' strength, with the team a combined 39-25 (.609) this season. KSU's freshmen trio of Nathan Walters, Dominic Ducariu and Leon Peranovic have combined for 24 of the team's 39 singles wins. Walters leads the Owls with a 9-2 record and a team-best three-match winning streak.

Xavi Ferrer and Anthony Weingarten have found recent momentum in line-three doubles with three straight wins of their own. As a team, KSU looks to improve from a 15-17 doubles record.
