Less than 24 hours after a 4-3 gut-check Big South Conference home win over UNC Asheville, the Longwood University men’s tennis team completed its weekend sweep with a dominant 4-0 victory over visiting Morgan State University on Sunday morning at the Hampden-Sydney Tennis Courts.

The win was the sixth in the past seven matches for the streaking Lancers (9-2, 3-1 in the Big South), who currently sit in second place in the conference tied with Campbell University.

Clutch victories in singles play drove Longwood’s success over the weekend.
