THE RUNDOWN

• The Phoenix won a competitive doubles point to go ahead 1-0. 
• The freshman tandem of Oskar Antinheimo and Veljko Krstic won 6-4 on Court 2 for Elon's first victory of the day. It was their first win as a duo this season. 
• After the Cougars won at No. 3 doubles, Daniel Martin and Nicholas Campbell clinched the point for the Phoenix with a 6-4 win at the No. 1 spot. The pair is 2-0 at No. 1 this season. 
• Krstic kept his momentum going in singles, as he posted a 6-4, 6-1 win on Court 3 against Charleston's Robby Krick. The freshman is now 8-3 on the season at No. 3 singles and is on a three-match winning streak.
• Freshman Ahmed Hosni put Elon ahead 3-0 with a 6-4, 6-3 win against Noah Borges at No. 4 singles. This was Hosni's first singles win in a road match since Jan. 27 against Rice, snapping a four-match slide.
• Martin secured the winning point with a 7-5, 6-1 result over Mattia Bernardi on Court 1. The junior is the first Elon player to reach 10 singles wins this season and has a team-best 10-3 record.

• Antinheimo also dropped the first set of his match on Court 5 against Johnny Wang but fought back to win in a match tiebreak, completing the sweep for Elon. 
• This was Elon's first road win since defeating Campbell on Feb. 7, as the Phoenix had lost its previous three road decisions. 
• This was Elon's fifth win of the season by a 7-0 score. The Phoenix won seven matches by that score in the last two seasons combined.
• The Phoenix has now won the doubles point in three straight matches, which ties its longest streak of the season.
