History
CHARLOTTE — Charlotte Men's Tennis ended its month-long homestand with a 6-1 win over DePaul on Sunday at the Halton-Wagner Tennis Complex. The team's third consecutive win and fourth in five matches moved the 49ers' home record to 6-1 and 7-5 overall.
To start the day, Vasco Prata and Matias Iturbe earned their fifth consecutive win as a tandem, 6-2. Charlotte couldn't continue the momentum in No. 2 and 3 with DePaul taking a back-and-forth 6-4 result from the latter slot to clinch the win after a 6-3 margin from the former evened the score.
Prata and Iturbe have a team-high seven wins after leading the 49ers with a 12-3 doubles mark a season ago.
Charlotte rebounded as it had in the two matches before Sunday's win. The 49ers took the first set of every singles slot for the third consecutive match, led by Prata's swift 6-3 tally. The team's six first-set wins were 6-3 or better, with Ivan Dreycopp's 6-2 edge at the top of the field.
Prata carried his doubles momentum into the No. 1 singles slot with a 6-3, 6-4 win from the top spot to even the match at 1-1. It was his fifth consecutive win in individual play and eighth overall. Brett Gloria followed with a 6-3, 6-2 margin from No. 5 to give Charlotte its inaugural contest lead.
Frederic Schlossmann won moments later 6-3, 6-1 from the No. 4 spot to set the stage for Danny Yassine's gritty 6-3, 7(8)-6(6) triumph from the No. 6 slot to clinch Charlotte's third consecutive win — each in comeback fashion after an opening doubles loss. Iturbe added another point 6-3, 7(7)-6(4) to the ledger after the 49ers' clinch before Dreycopp's marathon 6-2, 0-6, 7(7)-6(5) triumph added another to sweep singles.
Yassine has won each of his four spring chances.
"Fantastic team effort today," Assistant Coach Bastien Huon said. "The boys collectively played hard to overcome the doubles loss. We stepped on the gas and didn't give DePaul any hope in singles."
