Ferrum, Va. -- University of Lynchburg's men's tennis team opened 2021 Old Dominion Athletic Conference play in strong fashion Saturday with a 9-0 sweep of Ferrum on the road.

Lynchburg kept that momentum into singles play, winning all six matches in straight sets. Oliver's 6-0, 6-0 win at No. 5 and Manos' identical line at No. 6 highlighted the scoresheet, while Mullins took a 6-1, 6-1 decision at No. 1 and Brewen was victorious, 6-0, 6-1 at No. 4.
