CONWAY - The Coastal Carolina men's tennis team won its second match of the weekend on Sunday afternoon as the Chanticleers shut out Radford, 4-0, at the Stevens Tennis Complex.
After taking the doubles point, Coastal (2-0) swept the top three singles courts in straight sets to win the abbreviated match.
Sebastian Schneider and Zak Talic fell on the top doubles court to open the match, but Luiz Faria and Francesco Cori Gamero evened the point with a close 7-5 victory at No. 2. Francesco Migliano and Jose Ortega then gave the Chants a 1-0 match lead with a 6-4 victory on the third court.
Schneider won the first singles point, 6-3, 6-2, over Matko Varga. Faria followed on the top singles court with a 6-3, 6-3 victory, and Talic finished the match by downing Robin Calais, 6-3, 6-4, at No. 3.
The singles matches on courts four, five and six went unfinished once the match was won.
"Hats off to Coach Anderson and a very improved Radford team. I look forward to them being very competitive in the Big South this spring," said Chanticleer coach Chris Powers. "The windy conditions were tough to play in today, but I'm pleased with our overall performance."
