Final Stats

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. â€"â€" William & Mary narrowly won the doubles point and four straight-set singles matches on its way to recording a 6-1 victory over the Navy men's tennis team Saturday at the Millie West Tennis Facility in Williamsburg, Va.

The doubles point between the Mids (17-8) and the Tribe (13-8) was not awarded until the third and final match was completed. Navy won the initial match to finish, a 6-4 victory by Andrey Majkic (So., Jacksonville, Fla.) and Thomas Pecor (Jr., Houston, Texas) over Lars de Boer and Damon Niquet at the No. 3 flight, but William & Mary won the remaining two matches by the identical score of 7-5 to earn the point.

"There were a number of momentum swings during the doubles matches," said Navy head coach Chris Garner. "It came down to a few points where William & Mary was just a bit better."

William & Mary would go on to win each of the first four singles matches to finish in straight sets to secure the overall victory. The remaining matches were decided in mini third-set tiebreakers (first to 10 points with a two-point lead instead of a complete third set), with the teams splitting those matches. Addison Appleby posted a 4-6, 6-2, 1-0 (10-8) victory over Krishna Jana (Jr., Seabrook, Texas) at No. 2 singles to give William & Mary its sixth team point, then Navy's Austin Jones (Sr., Dallas, Texas) won a 6-7 (4-7), 6-3, 1-0 (10-6) decision over Christian Cargill at No. 1 singles in the final match of the day.

"In singles," said Garner, "William & Mary got off to quick starts and never looked back. Both Austin and Krishna played very even matches with their opponents."

Navy will begin its final week of the regular season Sunday when the Mids play host to Bucknell in a 10 a.m. match on the USNA Tennis Courts.
