Robert Martin (Madison Heights, VA/Amherst Co.)
paired to win at No. 3 singles 8-3.
In singles action, Richardson took his No. 1 singles contest one
and three, while Brown won in straight sets at No. 3 singles.
Nelson won all 12 games in his No. 4 singles match, and Dull and
Nick Carroll (Atlanta, GA/Holy Innocents) each won
one and zero in their singles matches.
In the women's match, the Hornets played tough but dropped their
14th straight match dating back to last season.
Krysten Bishop (Big Rapids, MI/Big Rapids) barely
dropped her No. 1 doubles 9-7, but took her No. 1 singles contest
in straight sets four and three. Clare Wallendjack
(Kensington, MD/Walter Johnson) forced a third-set
tiebreak, but fell 10-4 in the extra set.
The Lynchburg College men's team will take on Ferrum College Friday
in Ferrum, VA at 3 p.m., though the women will have to wait an
extra day to take to the courts as they entertain Guilford College
Saturday at 10 a.m.
