Box Score

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. – James Madison men's tennis swept Hofstra 7-0 on Saturday evening to finish out a 2-0 start to Colonial Athletic Association action and move to 4-1 overall in duals.

Freshman Gonzalo Adis represented the match-clinching point, coming from behind to take down Nick Silvestri in three sets (2-6, 6-1, 6-1) at the No. 6 singles spot. Earlier in the day, fellow freshman Alvaro Arce and junior Pierre Kohler sealed the doubles point with a 6-1 win at the No. 2 position.

The Dukes blanked an opponent for the first time since April 18, 2017 (7-0 vs. Bridgewater).

QUOTING HEAD COACH STEVE SECORD
"Our No. 2 and No. 3 doubles teams came out firing while our No. 1 doubles team fought back from being down a break and clinched the sweep. Our entire lineup had to battle in singles, and I'm proud of how everyone responded to the adversity – they were relentless today. We're a little tired and banged up, so we're looking forward to getting back to the Valley and having a good week of practice."

Before getting the win today, we stretched our legs under the lights of Times Square! #GoDukes
