CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Citadel tennis team fell to East Carolina and Campbell on Sunday at the Earle Tennis Center.

The Bulldogs (7-12) dropped their morning match to East Carolina (7-4) by a score of 7-0 and were defeated 6-1 by Campbell (3-6) in the afternoon competition.

"Our team is very close, and the players are continuing to grow each time they compete," head coach Chuck Kriese said. "It was a good day for Matt and Artemie in doubles. Our doubles are getting solid. Like last week's match against Appalachian State, we just could not close the door. We continued to do the work and move forward. We will break through very soon."

Against the Camels, freshman Matthew Henson earned a straight-sets victory at No. 3 singles 6-3, 6-4. Henson also teamed with sophomore Artemie Amari to win 6-3 at No. 1 doubles. The duo also won 6-1 at the top doubles spot against ECU. In the No. 2 doubles match, Nicholas Bradley and Michael Anzalone pushed their match to a tiebreaker but the Pirates claimed a 7-6 (4) win to take the doubles point.

The Campbell match was tightly contested throughout each singles position. At No. 1, Amari won the first set before dropping a 3-6, 7-5, 6-1 decision. Freshman Roy Hobson also pushed his match to three sets at No. 6, claiming the second set in a 6-2, 4-6, 6-2 final.

The Citadel opens Southern Conference play Tuesday by hosting UNC Greensboro. The Bulldogs and Spartans are set for a 2 p.m. first serve at the Earle Tennis Center. Admission is free.
