MARS HILL N.C. - The Newberry College men's tennis team (12-13, 3-8 SAC) earned a dominant 7-0 victory on the road against the Lions of Mars Hill on Monday.

The Wolves would set the tone early as Lawrence Friedland (Cary, N.C.) and Marcel Schomburg (Bingen, Germany) wasted no time asserting themselves for a 6-0 victory at the No. 2 doubles position. Mateo Bivol (Bordeaux, France) and Leo Zancheta (Assis, Brazil) would not be far behind with a 6-1 win at the top singles position to secure the doubles point, but the Wolves were not done yet as Enzo Blavignat (Bordeaux, France) and Stratas Anastopoulo (Charleston, S.C.) came together to earn a 6-4 win at the No. 3 doubles position for the overall sweep of doubles play.

The momentum would carry over into singles play as Bivol was able to press the attack with a dominant 6-0 6-2 victory at the top singles position. Zancheta would then earn a 6-4 6-3 win at No. 5 singles, and Schomburg was able to pick up a 6-4 6-4 win of his own in the No. 2 singles match to clinch the match overall. The match may have already been secured, but the Wolves wanted more as Friedland was able to shake off a rough second set to take the No. 3 singles position by a score of 7-5 1-6 6-0. Anastopoulo and Blavignat would then each earn respective victories of 8-4 and 8-6, playing eight-game pro sets in lieu of full matches due to the match having already been clinched, to complete the 7-0 sweep of the Lions.

The Wolves return to action on Friday, April 15 when they host the Railsplitters of Lincoln Memorial for Senior Day with the first serve scheduled for 2 p.m.
