HARRISONBURG, Va. – James Madison men's tennis kept up its hottest start to a season in over a decade on Saturday afternoon, downing Morgan State 7-0 and upping its dual record to 6-1.
The Dukes battled throughout the doubles lineup, playing both No. 1 and No. 2 to tiebreakers. Senior Theophile Lanthiez and sophomore Paul Mendoza came back from a 5-2 deficit at the No. 1 position to win 7-6(2) and clinched the opening point.
Junior Pierre Kohler represented the match clinching point for the second straight day, taking down Sebastian Lopez in two sets at the No. 4 position.
STILL OF THE DAY
Doing whatever it takes to get the win!

QUOTING HEAD COACH STEVE SECORD
"Morgan State has solid doubles teams, and I was glad that Gonzalo and Tate got the win to start us off on the right foot. The other two doubles matches went to tiebreakers, which with the way our guys are playing, I like our odds. Some of the singles matches were battles, and that is what we needed after a tough match last night. This sort of turnaround simulates conference championships and playing tough opponents on consecutive days, which is great experience for when we get to April."

The Dukes travel to George Mason on Friday, Feb. 23 for a 6 p.m. contest before they head to Richmond, Va., for a neutral-court match with Penn State on Sunday, Feb. 25.
