No. 21 Men’s Tennis Rolls Past Georgia College, Stays Perfect at Home

GREENWOOD - No. 21 Lander continued its strong start to Peach Belt Conference play with a 6-1 victory over Georgia College on Thursday afternoon at the Joe Cabri Tennis Center, improving to 10-2 overall and 2-0 in league action while remaining unbeaten at home (5-0).

The Bearcats secured the early advantage by taking two of three doubles matches. Georgia College struck first at No. 2 doubles, but Lander quickly responded. Max Barriere and Anton Krondell evened the doubles point with a 6-2 win at No. 3, before the nationally ranked duo of Harry Pugh and Brendan Jayaprakash delivered a 7-5 victory at No. 1 to clinch the point.

Carrying momentum into singles, Lander wasted little time extending its lead.

No. 27 Harry Pugh set the tone in singles play, cruising past No. 75 Chase Martin, 6-1, 6-1, on court one to make it 2-0. Shortly after, Brendan Jayaprakash followed with a dominant 6-2, 6-0 win at No. 5, pushing the advantage to 3-0.

Ismail ElShafei sealed the team victory at No. 4 singles with a 6-2, 6-4 decision, giving the Bearcats a 4-0 lead and clinching the match.

Lander continued to add to its total as Chan Min earned a 6-2, 6-2 win at No. 6, and Anton Krondell picked up a 6-3, 6-4 victory at No. 3. Georgia College's lone point came from a tightly contested three-set battle at No. 2 singles.

With the win, Lander remains perfect at home this season and builds momentum heading into a marquee conference matchup.

The Bearcats will return to action on Monday, March 30, traveling to St. Augustine, Fla., to face No. 3 Flagler in a key Peach Belt Conference showdown set for 2 p.m.
