Men's Tennis Splits with Radford

CONWAY, S.C.– The Coastal Carolina University men’s and women’s tennis teams opened up Big South Conference play Feb. 29 against Radford University. The women (5-1, 1-0 Big South) defeated the Highlanders 7-0 while the men (1-4, 0-1 Big South) fell to Radford by the same 7-0 count.

The Lady Chants won all nine matches, including taking all three doubles matches by 8-0 counts. Senior Medina Bajrambasic won at number-one singles over Daniela Milano 6-1, 6-0. Junior Stephanie Koot won by matching 6-0, 6-0 counts at number-four singles.

The men match was closer than the score indicated. Five of the six singles matches went three sets, but all went in the Highlanders favor. Coastal won its lone match on the doubles side as sophomore Florentin Meynie and freshman Darko Fridl defeated Andre’ Cavaco and Arthur Vasarevic 9-8 and 7-3 in the tiebreak.

The Coastal women travel to UNC Wilmington Thursday, March 4 at 2 p.m., while the men host UNC Asheville Saturday, March 6 at 11 a.m.
