CHAPEL HILL—North Carolina's men's tennis team, ranked No. 13 in the nation in the latest Intercollegiate Tennis Association poll, opened its 2022 dual match season with a dominant, 7-0 win over Bucknell on Sunday afternoon at the Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center.
Carolina won the doubles point and all six singles matches as it started the season 1-0 in head coach Sam Paul's 29th season at the helm of the Tar Heel program. Bucknell fell to 0-2.
The two teams originally were scheduled to play a doubleheader on Sunday but played just one instead due to wintry weather and poor road conditions in the area throughout the weekend.
