CHARLESTON, W. Va. -- The University of Charleston Men's Tennis program were crowned 2021 MEC Regular Season Champions with a 7-0 sweep over West Liberty on Sunday. The Golden Eagles finish their regular season with a 10-2 record, and a perfect 5-0 in conference play.

HOW IT HAPPENED:
UC came out of the blocks hot, clinching the doubles point in a dominant fashion by sweeping all three matchups. The #1 pair of John Giesberts and Drew Dagostine didn't put a foot wrong as they stormed to a quick 6-0 victory. The clinch of the doubles point was done by the freshman pair of Krish Patel and Jake Magill, playing at the #3 spot, who provided another 6-0 win for the Eagles. Frantisek Pirek and Lennert Stevens won at the #2 doubles spot, 6-3, providing the sweep for UC across all double's courts.
