When freshman Alex Pavkovich stepped onto the court for his singles match, little did he know that the weight of the entire day would fall on his shoulders for App State men’s tennis.
Falling behind in the first set, Pavkovich saw his teammates get ahead on the scoreboard, putting the Mountaineers (10-6, 0-1 Sun Belt) up 3-2 overall, but after UNC Greensboro’s (6-8) Jack Burkill took down App State sophomore Alex Brea, Pavkovich knew it was all up to him.
Battling back after a 6-4 defeat in the first set, Pavkovich won the next two sets, clinching App State’s fourth straight victory at 4-3.
