NC State sweeps North Carolina A&T, falls to South Carolina
RALEIGH, N.C. – The No. 21 NC State men's tennis team continued its nine-match home stretch as it played host to South Carolina and North Carolina A&T Saturday, splitting the pair of matches at the J.W. Isenhour Tennis Center. The Pack picked up a dominant 7-0 win over the Aggies and fell 6-1 to the Gamecocks.
After Saturday's matches, NC State owns a 6-2 overall record on the season.
"Today was a good chance for us to go out and continue to build and get better," said head coach Kyle Spencer. "The guys were really focused and were able to handle the challenges of today well. We have a lot of guys that are very professional in how they handle these matches, and they value the matches they get to play because practice is so tough and competitive. I was excited for the guys to get another opportunity to be together as a team and be able to compete, and I thought we did a great job today."
NC STATE 7, NORTH CAROLINA A&T 0
NC State cruised past the Aggies in its second match of the day, beginning with a strong doubles point. Georgiy Malyshev and Collin Shick were the first to tally a victory with a 6-1 win on court two, and Alexis Galarneau and Michael Ogden paired up for a 6-2 win on the top doubles court.
The Pack went on to take all five of the evening's singles matches in straight sets. Malyshev was the first to pick up a singles win on court two as he beat Jorge Ivanov 6-2, 6-0.
Ogden tallied his first singles victory of the dual season with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Hayden Faulkenbury, and Barkai completed a perfect day with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Nicolas Arduh to clinch the match for NC State.
Ivan Saveljic and Shick also picked up wins in straight sets to close out the Pack's sweep. Ivan was victorious over Jorge Goenaga in a 6-0, 6-3 decision, and Shick won 6-0, 6-2 over Martino in his first singles action of the spring season.
SOUTH CAROLINA 6, NC STATE 1
In its opening match of the day, the Pack dropped the doubles point for just the second time this season as the Gamecocks took wins on a pair of courts to snag an early lead in the match.
South Carolina went on to win three singles courts in a row to clinch the match at 4-0, and play on the remaining courts continued into third-set tiebreakers.
Yannai Barkai fought back from a set down to beat Yancy Dennis 4-6, 6-3, 1-0 (6) to secure the Pack's only point against the Gamecocks.
