No. 15 Mississippi Gulf Coast finished off a season sweep of No. 21 Hinds in men’s tennis action on Tuesday, winning 7-2 on the road in Raymond.

 

The Bulldogs improved to 10-1 overall and have won nine of 10 MACCC matches.

 

Clay Fudge (So., Madison/Madison Central) won a third-set tiebreaker in No. 2 singles for a pivotal point. Pedro Molero (So., Maracaibo, Venezuela/U.E. Instituto Americano Joseph John Thomson), Anderson Dulaney (So., Long Beach/Long Beach) and Alex King (So., Ocean Springs/Ocean Springs) closed things out at Nos. 3-5 singles.

 

Dulaney paired with Paul Gayk (Fr., Muelheim an der Ruhr, Germany/Berufskolleg Lehnerstrasse) to win No. 2 doubles, and King teamed with Kyle Bond to win at No. 3.
