Agate – N.C. A&T
Agate – Presbyterian

ELON, N.C. – Josh Luck earned the first two wins of his collegiate career today, Feb. 14, helping the Elon University men's tennis team sweep its doubleheader against North Carolina A&T and Presbyterian at the Jimmy Powell Tennis Center.
 
Luck picked up a win at No. 1 singles against N.C. A&T's Dre Jarmon in Elon's 6-1 win and clinched the match for the Phoenix with a 7-6 (7-4), 6-4 triumph at No. 4 singles against Presbyterian.
 
"We're getting healthy, that's number one," Elon head coach Michael Leonard said. "This is the first time we've probably played with a healthy lineup. I think some of our guys stepped up today in singles. It was good to get some of our guys that haven't played to play matches in the first match today."
 
Elon got things started against the Aggies by winning on all three doubles courts. Carrying a 1-0 lead into singles competition, the Phoenix continued to control play, as Neal Port and Christopher Geaslen shut out their opponents in 6-0, 6-0 wins.
 
The Phoenix carried that momentum into its next match against Presbyterian, winning on all six singles courts to win the match, 6-1.
 
The Blue Hose took a 1-0 lead after winning the doubles point, but Elon responded in singles play to sweep the doubleheader and win its third straight.
 
Stefan Fortmann, Robert Lindgren and Jordan Kaufman each made quick work of their opponents at the top three singles positions, winning their matches in straight sets. Three-set wins by Brian Kowalski and Juan Madrid closed out the win for Elon.
 
The Phoenix improves to 3-6 on the season with the win. The team is back in action next weekend, when Winthrop and UNC Wilmington travel to Elon Feb. 20 and 22, respectively.
