Seahawks Conquer Coastal In Tennis

WILMINGTON, North Carolina – The UNCW men's tennis team improved to 2-0 on its five-match home stand with a 4-3 decision over regional rival Coastal Carolina on Tuesday at the UNCW courts.
 
Playing in cloudy, cool conditions, the defending Colonial Athletic Association champions evened their record at 2-2 with the win. The Chanticleers had their three-match winning streak snapped and stand 3-2.
 
UNCW claimed the doubles point in dramatic fashion when the No. 1 tandem of Davide Innocenti and Reece Falck slipped past Coastal's Diego Giraldo and Federico Garnier in a tiebreaker, 7-6 (5) and then captured the first three singles matches off the court to clinch the match early.
 
Freshman Trey Mallory got things going in singles when the Bermuda native cruised past Coastal's Daiki Tanabe, 6-4, 6-2, at the No. 6 position.
 
Senior Davide Innocenti then raised the score to 3-0 with a workmanlike 6-3, 6-2, victory over Coastal's Diego Giraldo at No. 2 singles. Sophomore Reece Falck clinched the match with a 6-4, 7-6 (5) decision against Carlos Berna Ruiz.
 
The Seahawks play the third installment of their five-match home stand on Sunday with a noon start at the UNCW courts.
