WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – The William & Mary's men's tennis team took down Longwood men's tennis 7-0. That gave the Tribe their first win of the season after a tough opening weekend while Longwood suffered its first loss after their own 4-2 win over the Saint Francis Red Flash.

The Tribe's Daniel Pellerito and Finbar Talcott closed out the doubles sweep by winning a tiebreak over Nikhil Kulkarni and Ernest Rocabert 7-6 (7-5).
 
In singles, The Tribe won each singles match to clinch the win. Brown started the singles run at #2 and took down Jourdan Kast 6-2, 6-1. Davis took a competitive pair of sets over Naydenov 6-3, 7-5 at #1 singles, and Brailovsky clinched the match win with a 6-4, 6-1 win over Weinberg.
