The No. 5 ranked Dalton State men's tennis team (12-4, 7-1 SSAC) knocked-off No. 21 Warner University from Lake Wales, Fl. at Lakeshore Park Tennis Center on Monday.

The 6-3 Roadrunner win started with the hosts taking two of the three doubles matches.

"It was a great win for the guys today," said Dalton State Coach Zack Rogers. "Warner is a solid team that deserves a lot more respect in the rankings. I felt like we got solid play at doubles and really had a shot at taking all three lines."

Doubles:

1.    Rafael A. Courtinho/Rafael E. Courtinho (WU) def.  Sebastian Dartnell/Jose Ruda (DS) 7-6

2.    Edberg Espinoza /Joe Bray (DS) def. Guillaume de Vauxclairs/Alejandro Herrers (WU) 8-4

3.    Adam Hornby/Nikolay Nikiforov (DS) def. Francisco Perafan/Renan Gambim (WU) 9-2

"Adam, Edberg, and Joe continued to be the core of our singles lineup, said Rogers. "All three came through. I am super proud of Eduardo Cabrera who stepped in and won at line six after Seb got injured in doubles."
