Eagles drop tight men's tennis matchup at Campbellsville

CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. - Midway won the doubles point and forced three sets in four singles matches, but unfortunately only won one of them in a 5-2 non-conference loss to Campbellsville in men's tennis Friday.

Ricardo Starosta and Mudiwa Munyimani started things off with a 6-3 win over Derrick Namanya and Artur Yakubova at No. 1 doubles. Ferran Clapes Ballart and Izan Casado then clinched the point with a thrilling 7-5 win over Mariano Orsini and Rikuto Towata at No. 3.

Starosta then ran his No. 1 singles record to 6-0 with a 6-4, 1-6, 7-5 win over Alex Martin.

Singles spots 2, 3 and 4 all went to third sets as well, but each was dominated by the Tigers, who lost just three total games in the decisive sets.

Elian Walther beat Ballart 6-2, 1-6, 6-2 at No. 2, Juan Ochoa beat Munyimani 5-7, 6-4, 6-1 at No. 3 and Yakubova topped Aleksey Granitsa 6-2, 4-6, 6-0.

The loss drops Midway to 4-3 overall on the season. Before returning to River States Conference play, the Eagles travel to face Cedarville (Ohio) for a 4 p.m. match Wednesday.
