ARLINGTON, Va. --
Graydon Buckingham totaled three victories to pace the Navy men's tennis team in wins at the Commander-in-Chief Challenge held this weekend at the Army Navy Country Club in Arlington, Va. The three-day event featured the Mids playing a round robin against players from Army and Air Force.
Buckingham teamed with
Jake Young for a pair of victories in doubles. The tandem first posted a 6-4 win over Army's Vishnu Bodavula and Alan Ton, then won a 7-5 decision against the Air Force duo of Tyler Leaird and AJ Moore.
Buckingham also won a 3-6, 7-6 (7-5), 1-0 (10-1) singles match over Air Force's Kyle Garner.
Four of Navy's singles losses came in tiebreakers that were played in place of a complete third set, one of which was Buckingham losing to Army's Daniel Choi, 6-1, 2-6, 1-0 (10-6)
Navy will continue its fall season this coming week by competing in both the Milwaukee Tennis Classic and the Liberty Invite.
