Freshman Mason Hudnall earned his first collegiate win at fourth singles by a score of 6-3, 6-2 while junior Austin Grace finished the match with a 6-0, 6-0 victory at fifth singles.
"It doesn't take an in depth analysis to see that the Moravian men came to play," noted Head Coach Alan Heverly. "The team captains Peter and Isaac showed a business-like attitude and played their game to the fullest. We also saw Mike and Chris show we have some depth in doubles, and Austin did the same for our singles line up. Everyone on the team played very well."
The Greyhounds are slated to return to the courts on Sunday, September 17 when the team heads to FDU-Florham for a non-conference match beginning at 10:00 a.m.
