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. The Spartans also swept all three doubles matches on Monday. However, Davidson’s Flaviu Simihaian and Ethan Jaffee pulled out singles wins in the third set at Nos. 1 and 3 singles to hold off the Spartans.
UNCG returns to action on Thursday when it hosts Charlotte at 2 pm.
