Cumberlands edges Eagles in two close matches for 5-4 win

Williamsburg, Ky. - On the men's side, the Eagles lost two tightly contested matches at No. 1 and No. 2 doubles and were not able to regain the momentum as the Eagles also dropped three of the six singles matches in a 5-4 loss to Cumberlands on Saturday afternoon.

The winner of the team match came down to the last singles match remaining on the court.  The match saw Dusty Davis, C-N's No. 1 singles player, valiantly battle before losing in a third set.  

Adriano Kira, Paul Birdsong, and Dalton Moore cruised at No. 4 – No. 6 singles, respectively.

The C-N tennis teams will be back in action on April 10 at 1 p.m. against Lenior Rhyne College in Jefferson City.
