Men's Tennis Shuts Out Appalachian State for Second-Straight Win

BOONE, N.C. -- It was a new day and same result for the Southern Miss men's tennis team in North Carolina, this time scoring a 4-0 win over Appalachian State.

The Mountaineers had won three out of their previous four matches. Southern Miss had played its last eight matches away from home due to rainouts and scheduled trips.

The dynamic duo of Ronit Bisht and Jorman Reyes continued to shine on the doubles front, winning 6-4 in their tilt. The true drama came on No. 3, where Youssef Tamimount and Matthieu Peres fought tooth-and-nail for a 7-6 (14-12) victory that gave the Golden Eagles a crucial point.

Bisht picked up right where he left off with a sweep of his opponent in singles, while Reyes and Chung-Han Tsai went three sets before ultimately vanquishing their foe. Tsai had to rally from the first set, while Reyes rebounded from a 6-0 loss in the second to edge his opponent in the third.

It marked Reyes' team-high sixth win, while Bisht and Tsai are right behind with five.

Southern Miss' next action will be Senior Day on Sunday, March 24 against New Mexico State.
