SEWANEE AND MARYVILLE, Tenn. - The Piedmont men's tennis team improved to 2-0 in conference play with a 9-0 sweep at Maryville as it split two matches on Saturday afternoon in Tennessee.

One group led a 9-0 triumph at Maryville while another fell 9-0 in nonconference action at Sewanee.

Match 1: Piedmont 9, Maryville 0

For the second straight afternoon, the Lions delivered a dominant 9-0 sweep in a road USA South match.

The dominance continued into doubles as Piedmont won all five lines in straight sets with three of them perfect 6-0, 6-0 wins.

The Lions were up 4-0 before a singles point was played, while Sandles clinched with a 6-0, 6-0 victory at No. 3.

Bale and Webb also were perfect at No. 4 and No. 5.

Both Nunez and Porcelli also delivered back-to-back wins with Nunez winning 6-3, 6-0 and Porcelli prevailing, 6-1, 6-2.

Match 2: Sewanee 9, Piedmont 0

Playing the No. 30 nationally-ranked Tigers in a nonconference matchup, Sewanee controlled the match from start-to-finish.

Sewanee began the match by taking all three doubles matches by an 8-1 margin.

Singles action was also controlled by the Tigers, who won all six lines in straight sets.

Up next, the Lions will take on Huntingdon on the road next Saturday, April 2 at 12 p.m.
