Longwood claims 11th win in 7-0 victory

FARMVILLE, Va. — The Longwood men's tennis team shut out Lynchburg, 7-0, Thursday on the New Lancer Courts.

Uribe and Daniel Lopez defeated Ricards Spaks and Nicholas Pierreux, 6-4, to complete the doubles sweep.

Uribe began singles action with a 6-1, 6-1 win over Gaboardi at No. 3, while Marko Mrdak then beat Gomes, 6-2, 6-1 at No. 4. Plane clinched the match beating Pierreux by the same score at No. 2.

Huang made it 5-0 with a 6-1, 6-2 victory against Quiroga Amaya at No. 5. Foster followed with a 6-1, 6-3 win over Sebastian Sierra at No. 6.
