After suffering its first and only loss of the year to the University of North Carolina at Asheville on Feb. 3, the East Carolina University men’s tennis team made it known to opposing programs that when it comes to playing the Pirates at home, they will have a hard time walking away with an upset.
Last weekend ECU (7-1) had to defend home court against the University of Richmond (4-2) on Friday and Appalachian State University (1-5) on Sunday. The Pirates’ toughest matchup came on Friday against Richmond where it would result in a 4-3 victory for ECU, whereas the match with App State would result in a 4-0 win.
