CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. -- Mid-South Conference tennis season began Wednesday with a men's and women's sweep for Campbellsville University over University of the Cumberlands. The Lady Tigers locked up a 5-4 win over the Patriots while the Tigers closed out a 7-2 win to put both teams at No. 1 in the MSC standings to start the year.


On the men's side, Pablo Numbela and Antonio Klie were undefeated on the day for the Tigers. Neither dropped a doubles match or singles set. Numbela teammed up with Angel Marquez to win at No. 1 singles, 8-4, over Oscar Pantoja and David Ujueta. Numbela went on to start the singles matches off strong with a 6-0, 6-0 win over Pantoja in the No. 1 match. Klie, who teammed up with Filip Pavlovic to win No. 3 singles, 8-2, played a long two-set match at No. 5 singles. After beating Jerrid Neely 6-4 in the first set, Klie took an early lead in the second set and held on for a 7-5 win.

Pavlovic and Phil Carlisle also did not lose a match Wednesday, as Pavlovic sealed the victory with a 7-5, 6-7, 6-2 win over Guillermo Alvarez at No. 2 singles and Carlisle closed the match with a 4-6, 6-2, 10-3 win over Drew Hill at No. 6 singles.

Zac Malyon picked up the fourth win for CU at No. 4 singles with a 6-3, 6-1 win over David Ujueta.

In women's action, last year's MSC Co-Player of the Year, Anita Henestrosa, started conference play strong with a No. 2 doubles and No. 2 singles win. Her and doubles teammate Aspen Edwards beat Donna Strong and Alissa Ellis, 8-2. Henestrosa went on to beat Kelcey Bauer 6-0, 6-0 in singles action, while Edwards was also unbeaten on the day with a 6-2, 6-0 win over Shelby Muff at No. 4 singles.

In addition to the varsity matches, CU won exhibition women's tennis matches by Kelsie Peckham and Melanie Jones.

Campbellsville travels to southeastern Tennessee this weekend for a three-match road trip. The Tigers (4-2) and Lady Tigers (3-3) travel to Cleveland, Tenn., to take on Lee University Friday for a 2 p.m. match.
