ROCK HILL, SC – The men's tennis team made it twelve straight and took at least a share of the Big South title as they brought down UNC Asheville 6-1 Saturday afternoon at the Memorial Courts.

The win puts the Eagles at 14-5 on the season and a perfect 5-0 in the Big South, as UNCA drops to 7-9 on the year and 0-3 in the conference.

In doubles play, Winthrop was able to capture two matches to earn the doubles point. In No. 1 doubles, Sergey Belov and Liran Levy defeated Jonas Brobeck and Matt Waissen 8-6, as Guy Kubi and Nadav Ruppin brought down Nicolai Nonnenbroich and Nathan White 8-2 in No. 2 doubles.

The Eagles continued their winning ways in singles action as they took five matches. Belov took down Waissen 6-2, 6-4 in No. 1 singles, as Dejon Bivens defeated Nonnenbroich 6-4, 6-4 in the No. 2 spot.
