ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- The Navy men's tennis team ran its winning streak to four matches with a pair of wins on Saturday at the Tose Family Tennis Center.  The Mids (4-2) registered a 6-1 victory over George Mason (0-1) and a 4-3 win over Mount St. Mary's (2-1).

Navy began the day by sweeping three close doubles matches against George Mason.  Jason Kim and Charlie Spencer combined for a 6-3 victory over Jacco Arends and Zavan Fahim at No. 2 doubles in the first match to finish.  Clinching the point was the No. 1 tandem of Luke Garner and Jake Young with a 6-3 victory against Monil Lotlikar and Niza Simunyola.  Completing the sweep was the No. 3 pairing of Aaron Gu and Nathan Nguyen, which defeated Ekansh Kumar and Shai Saeed by the score of 6-4.

Garner placed Navy's second point on the board when he defeated Arends, 6-2, 6-2, at No. 3 singles.  It became a 3-0 lead when George Cutone posted a 6-4, 6-3 victory over Saeed at the No. 6 flight.  After a victory by George Mason at No. 1 singles, Aniketh Ayinala secured the overall match when he tallied a 6-1, 7-5 win over Simunyola at No. 4 singles.

The remaining two matches saw Herrick Legaspi and Tommy Kim rally to win three-set matches.  Legaspi defeated Lotlikar, 3-6, 6-4, 1-0 (10-7), at No. 2 singles and Kim won a 6-7 (5-7), 6-2, 1-0 (10-8) decision over Fahim at the No. 5 flight.

The doubles point between the Mids and The Mount was not awarded until the a tiebreaker was played in third and final match between the teams. Mount St. Mary's would win the match to take a 1-0 lead.
