Charlotte, N.C. – The Queens University of Charlotte men's tennis team saw an 8-1 defeat of Anderson University on Sunday, February 28, 2016. Queens would keep their undefeated record in South Atlantic Conference play, advancing to a 3-0 record with the home court win while Anderson dropped to 3-1. Queens improved to 5-1 overall as Anderson took a 5-2 overall record.

"I was pleased with our effort today," said Head Coach Billy Boykin. "We have respect for the Anderson program. They have a dangerous team and we knew coming into the match that we'd need a complete team effort. We got off to a quick start in doubles play and never really lost our focus from there. Winning all three doubles matches gave us a big lift going into singles play. We competed hard on every court."

A strong start contributed to the team's success as Queens found three early points with the doubles matches. Jules Athalis and Giovanni Setti claimed the first point of the day with a defeat of the No. 2 doubles pair for Anderson, Paul Michael Calhoun and Inaki Irberri. The No. 14-ranked pair of Per-Erik Soler and Andor Vas captured a 8-3 score on court one against Aljaz Cajzek and Mateo Rivas as Jorden Owens and Will Roberson shutout Anderson with a 8-4 win on court three against Juan Carracedo and Drew Mostellar.
