Men's tennis team drops 5-2 decision at Davidson

DAVIDSON, NC – UNC Greensboro’s Martin Redelinghuys rallied for a three-set win, but Davidson University won two singles matches in decisive third sets to come away with a 5-2 win over UNCG in Southern Conference men’s tennis action.

Redelinghuys, a sophomore from Cape Town, South Africa, lost the first set, 6-3, but rallied to win the last two sets by scores of 7-5 and 6-4.
