Men’s Tennis Remains Undefeated with Sweep at George Mason

GREENVILLE, N.C. – The East Carolina Men's Tennis team remains undefeated following a 7-0 road victory over George Mason (0-2) Wednesday afternoon. The win marks back-to-back seasons in which the Pirates begin 3-0 for the first time since 2010 and 2011.

"It was good to get one road match under our belt," head coach Shawn Heinchon said. "The doubles were super close but once we got through that I think we did a good job of settling in and playing good singles."

Vlad Anghel and Fredric Lehfeldt improved to 2-0 in doubles play with a 6-3 win over Andrew Curtis and Eddie Ayers at No. 2 doubles. Freddie McGeehan and Kasey Countee teamed up for the third time this season in the No. 1 spot to defeat Jimmy Lange and Jakob Neilsen 7-6(3) improving their season mark to 2-1. No. 3 doubles also went into a tiebreaker with Ronny Georgi and William Bissett emerging victorious over Alexis Pinsonneaul and Daniel Gutierrez in a 7-6(2) final.

After securing the doubles point to enter singles play with a 1-0 lead in the match, it was smooth sailing for the Pirates. Anghel swept Neilsen at No. 2 singles 6-2, 6-4 while Georgi earned a 6-1, 7-5 win at No. 3 singles over George Mason's Ayers. At the top of the lineup, McGeehan dashed out with a 6-1 first set win over Lange but the match was evened in the second set when the Patriot's No. 1 player took the set 6-4. He was persistent however, rallying to a 6-1 win in the third set to earn the victory.

Lehfeldt improved his singles record to 3-0 this spring with a win at No. 4 while William Bissett earned his first singles win of the season with a 6-3, 6-3 win over Giuliano Buziuanu in the No. 6 spot. After a first set loss, Kasey Countee evened the No. 5 match with a 6-3 second set win and went on to win the match with a 10-1 super tie breaker win.
