OWENSBORO, Ky. - Midway went on the road and secured a 5-2 win over NCAA Division-II opponent Kentucky Wesleyan in the Eagles' men's tennis spring opener Saturday, with three of it four singles wins coming in straight sets.

Midway narrowly secured the doubles point with a pair of 7-5 wins by Owen McCarter and Aditya Roy Chowdhury at No. 1 and Manuel Mirabel and Malon Haverkamp at No. 3.

Perhaps the most excitement came in the No. 1 singles match, where Aleksey Granitsa rallied back from a 6-4 opening-set loss to win 6-4 in the second and 10-8 in the third.

Midway secured the win with three other singles wins, as Chowdhury (6-1, 6-1 at No. 2), Julius Lueckoff (6-4, 6-4 at No. 5) and Haverkamp (6-2, 6-2 at No. 6) all won in straight sets.

Weather permitting, the Eagles will play their first home match of the season next Saturday, as they are set to host Cedarville at 1 p.m.
