ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Herrick Legaspi won a pair of matches as the Navy men's tennis team (19-14) improved to 6-0 in Patriot league play with a 4-0 victory over Holy Cross (7-8, 3-3), Sunday afternoon at the Westboro Tennis & Swim Club in Westboro, Mass.  The Mids also won a 4-3 decision over Longwood (6-9) in Annapolis.

Navy claimed the doubles point from the Crusaders with victories at the Nos. 2 and 3 flights.  Legaspi and Charlie Spencer posted a 6-2 win over Matt Carlson and Patrick Ling at No. 2, then George Cutone and Nathan Nguyen recorded a 6-2 victory over Alessandro Bizzarri and Teddy Callery at No. 3.

The Holy Cross team of Jeremy Clark and Ezequiel De la Plaza held a 5-4 lead over Luke Garner and Jake Young at the No. 1 flight when play was halted due to the point being decided.

Only four courts were available at the facility, which meant the Nos. 1-4 matches took to the courts first.  Young defeated Ling, 6-1, 6-1, at No. 4 singles, then Garner rallied for a 1-6, 6-2, 6-4 victory at the No. 3 flight to make the score 3-0.  Legaspi closed play when he defeated De la Plaza, 7-6 (8-6), 5-7, 6-4, at No. 1 singles.

Camilo Illanes held a 6-4, 2-2 lead on Cutone at No. 5 singles and Spencer was up on Bizzarri, 3-2, at No. 6 when Legaspi's match finished.

Back in Annapolis, Navy swept the three doubles matches to take a 1-0 lead.  J.J. Etterbeek and Tommy Kim combined for a 6-2 victory at No. 2 doubles over Petar Belosevic and Petter Lindquist.  Aniketh Ayinala and Jason Kim followed with a 6-1 victory over Mauricio Gonzalez Paiva and Timeo Puech to earn the point for the Mids.  Finishing the sweep was the No. 3 tandem of Graydon Buckingham and Aaron Gu, which defeated Marko Mrdak and Alejandro Uribe by the score of 6-4.

The Lancers tied the match at 1-1 when Puech defeated Ayinala, 6-2, 6-0, at No. 1 singles.  Etterbeek gave the lead back to the Mids with a 6-4, 6-4 win over Belosevic at the No. 2 flight.  Uribe tied the match again (2-2) with his 3-6, 6-1, 6-2 victory over Tommy Kim at No. 4 singles.  Jason Kim recorded Navy's third team point of the match with a 6-4, 6-4 victory over Gonzalez Paiva at No. 3 singles.  Steven Nguyen then defeated Mrdak, 7-6, (7-2), 6-2, at No. 5 singles to secure the overall decision.  The final match saw Lindquist defeat Zach Quattro, 3-6, 6-0, 6-4, at No. 6 singles.

Navy will play matches Tuesday at Loyola and at home against Howard, then will play at Army Saturday.
