BOONE, N.C. — Despite a rain-soaked weekend, Appalachian State University men's tennis turned in a solid performance at the Davidson Invitational to start the fall campaign, reeling off 16 victories overall.

App State dominated USC Upstate on Saturday capturing all six singles and three doubles matches, before picking up four victories in singles play and three of four doubles flights on Sunday against host Davidson. The Apps were scheduled to play Charlotte in the event, but the rainy conditions cancelled the match concluding the Invite.

In singles play, Oliver Casey  went 2-0 over the two-day tournament at the one spot, while Scott Webster and Jack Maddocks also went 2-0 as the No. 2 and 3 in the lineup, respectively.

In addition, Zach Bost, Trey Morris and Jan-Willem Kleynhans captured victories on Saturday to contribute to the effort.

The Apps continued their strong play into doubles competition with a 6-2 mark overall. Webster and Kleynhans notched a 2-0 victory as the No. 1 duo, and the No. 2 tandem of Bost/Morris notched a 2-0 record in their matches as well. Casey/Maddocks earned a victory in the three position on Saturday against USC Upsate.

In his first collegiate event, Alex Brea tallied his first singles and doubles victory on Sunday, partnering with Chris Mahan as the fourth pairing.   

The team will hold its annual Alumni Weekend on Oct. 3-4 in conjunction with Appalachian State University's Homecoming events.
