Eagles Dump Jacksonville State, 4-3, On Valentine's Day

Georgia Southern wins doubles point, notches three straight-set singles wins for the victory

STATESBORO - Georgia Southern men's tennis got back on the winning track on Friday with a 4-3 win over previously unbeaten Jacksonville State at the Wallis Tennis Center.

The Eagles moved to 4-4 on the season with the victory, while Jacksonville State fell to 3-1. Georgia Southern will next host Stetson on Sunday at 1 p.m. at Wallis.

Georgia Southern took the doubles point from the Gamecocks with a 6-2 win from Aaron James Williams and Laurent Julia Calac at No. 2 doubles and a 6-1 win from Matthew Mitchell and Pierre Mouesca at No. 3 doubles.

The Eagles then clinched the victory with three straight set singles wins. Pol del Castillo notched a 6-1, 6-4 win over Marko Milsavljevic at No. 3 singles, then Pierre Mouesca delivered a 6-3, 6-2 win over Charlie Penman at No. 4 singles. Dimitris Paliouras then clinched the victory with a 6-2, 6-2 win over Aman Dahiya at No. 1 singles.

"First and foremost, we knew it was going to be a big match," Georgia Southern head men's tennis coach Andrew Goodwin said. "They pushed us last year, Michael and Alberto are great coaches and they're off to an awesome start. We had to re-establish what we're about after Sunday and I think we took a step in the right direction today. This team is still improving. We're still getting to where we need to be but we're headed that way."
