GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The 24th-ranked Davenport men's tennis team continues to stay hot as it put together a sweep in doubles followed by taking five of six in singles to down Huntington 8-1 on the regular-season finale at the MVP Sportsplex Friday evening. The Panthers complete the regular-season with a 17-6 overall record and have won five straight matches.
 
The No. 1 doubles pairing of Eric Pell and Matheus Moreira de Carvalho held on to win 8-6 while one court two Vitaly Shumilov and Christian Woods edged their opponents 9-7. Zac Chambers and Tyler Chambers completed the sweep with an 8-2 win.
 
Moreira de Carvalho and Tyler Chambers both picked up win No. 17 on the year in singles play. Moreira de Carvalho earned a pair of 6-2 victories at No. 5 singles and Chambers posted a 6-3, 6-0 win at No. 5. Woods would have to play a three-set battle on court three, but the sophomore held on to win his team-best 21st victory by the score of 6-3, 2-6, 11-9.
 
Zac Chambers took home Davenport's eighth point with a 6-4, 6-2 win at No. 2 singles.
 
Post-Match Quotes – Head Coach Patrick Grashorn
“I couldn't be happier with the way both teams played tonight. We are peaking at the right time heading into post-season play next weekend. Once again, Eric and Matheus stepped up huge and took down the #5 ranked doubles team in our region and Christian fought off a match point to keep his singles win streak alive. Even with the close loss at one singles and even though we had individual ups and downs, the team as a whole took care of business. Very proud of the teams and our seniors in their last regular season match.”
