BALTIMORE, Md. –– The Navy men's tennis team (3-0) earned its first Patriot League victory of the season Saturday as the Mids posted a 7-0 victory over Loyola (0-3) in Baltimore.

The match was the first for Navy since Feb. 27 and the first for Loyola in 13 days.

"It was fantastic for the team to get back out on the courts," said Navy head coach Chris Garner.  "I thought the team did well this week in their preparation for today's match.  The outcome showed they were ready to play."

Navy lost a combined five games in winning the three doubles matches.  Christian Pumpelly (So., Atlanta, Ga.) and Gavin Segraves (So., Charlottesville, Va.) tallied a 6-1 win over Oliver Davey and Tyler Mast in the first match to finish.  The Mids earned the doubles point when their No. 2 tandem of Jack Dabek (Jr., Dublin, Ohio) and Derrick Thompson (Jr., Towson, Md.) posted a 6-2 victory over Peter Kelley and Cooper Tomchik.  

The remaining match saw Sasha Panyan (Fr., Lutherville, Md.) and Andrew Ton (Sr., Milpitas, Calif.) defeat Edik Pribitkin and Charlie Shanker, 6-2, at the No. 1 flight.

The Mids went on to win each of the six singles matches in straight sets.

Navy took a 2-0 lead when Jack McBride (Jr., Chapel Hill, N.C.) defeated Kelley, 6-1, 6-0, at No. 5 singles.  It was a 3-0 advantage after Segraves did not lose a game in defeating Davey at the No. 4 flight.  A 6-4, 6-0 victory by Panyan over Mast at No. 6 singles secured the overall victory for the Mids.

Also posting victories in singles were, in finish order, Jake Fishkin (Jr., Baltimore, Md.) at No. 3, Thompson at No. 2 and Ton at No. 1.

Navy will continue its slate of matches April 3 when the Mids play host to Lehigh.  The match is slated to start at 3 p.m. in Annapolis.
