GREENSBORO, N.C. — Davidson closed out its final regular season road match with a strong 6-1 decision over UNCG Saturday afternoon in men's tennis at the Spartan Tennis Courts.
The Wildcats earned their seventh win in the past eight matches to move to 13-5 on the season. They finished 5-3 on the road this year and improved to 13-15 since 1989 against the Spartans (7-8).
For the sixth time in the last seven matches Davidson won the doubles point, moving to 26-18 overall on the season as a team after wins of 6-3 at No. 2 and 6-4 at No. 3. The senior duo of Shamael Chaudhry and David Hager won their ninth together at No. 2, while Jack Riazzi and Yash Parikh ran their season record to 7-6 at No. 3.
Hager led the way in singles, winning his 50th career match in 74 matches overall after a solid 6-4, 6-4 victory at No. 5. The senior is 9-7 on the season.
Chaudhry and Riazzi each nailed down straight-set wins of 6-0, 6-3 and 6-1, 6-2 at No. 2 and 6, respectively. The duo is a combined 23-7 on the season in singles play.
Matching Chaudhry for the team-lead with 12 wins was Axel Fries at No. 3. The sophomore pulled out a 7-4 tie-breaker to finish off his 7-5, 2-6, 1-0 decision.
Closing out the final team point was Thomas Mason at No. 4, who won his 11th match on a three-setter (1-6, 6-4, 6-2). It was his second win going to an extra set.
Davidson returns home to finish out the regular season with three straight home matches, starting April 14 against Appalachian State.
