MISENHEIMER, N.C. - Piedmont men's tennis concluded its fall season this past Thursday and Friday, in hidden dual tournament action at the Knapp Family Tennis Invite in Misenheimer, North Carolina.

Sophomore Caleb McElveen stepped forward to lead the team in singles play, winning all three of his matches, defeating opponents from Methodist, JWU and Pfeiffer. 

Fellow sophomore Horacio Rodriguez also delivered a notable performance in singles, winning two of his three matches. Rodriguez saw two of his three matches go into third set tiebreakers and he was able to come through as a winner against Methodist, winning the third set tiebreak 10-8.
