CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The No. 23 Queens University of Charlotte men's tennis team shut out regional foe Georgia College 7-0 on Sunday afternoon at the Howard Levine Tennis Center.
 
"This was a good win for out team," said Head Tennis Coach Billy Boykin. "We lost a tough one to them last Spring, so we were focused coming into the match this year. We had a good week of practice and we were excited to play today."
 
Queens tallied three wins in doubles play, including a convincing 6-2 win in the second position by the tandem of Sebastian Meum and Kasper Rolfsen.
 
In singles play, freshman Edoardo Cecere opened with a 6-0, 6-0 win and Meum followed with a 6-1, 6-0 victory. After a 6-0, 6-2 win by redshirt-junior Paolo Bompieri, freshmen Edoardo Bottino clinched the match with a 6-2, 6-0 win.
 
"We're playing with more confidence each time out. We've won consecutive matches against two of the top teams in the region, which is great, but we have to keep pushing ourselves in practice" continued Boykin. "Our region is action-packed with good teams and we need to be ready to compete at a high level every time we step on the court."

The Royals return to action on Saturday, February 22 in Greenwood, S.C. against nationally-ranked Lander University at 1 p.m. before opening South Atlantic Conference play on Sunday, Feb. 23 against UVa-Wise in Wise, Virginia at 10 a.m.
