JOHNSON CITY, TENN. – East Tennessee State, ranked 46th nationally, proved too strong for Campbell this afternoon as the Buccaneers swept the Camels 7-0 in Atlantic Sun men's tennis action.

Due to inclement weather, the matches were moved indoors to the Memorial Center.

With the loss, Campbell falls to 14-6 on the season, 6-2 in the A-Sun. East Tennessee State improves to 18-3 and 8-0 in conference play.

ETSU jumped out to the early lead by winning all three doubles matches to claim the doubles point. Campbell's Gabriel Delarue and Davy Sum put up a hard-fought struggle in the number-one match, but Alex Ahlgren and Oscar Posada edged past them in an 8-7 decision.

The Bucs went on to sweep all six singles matches in straight-sets. Freshman Sum nearly forced a tie-breaking third set in the number-one match against no. 77 Enrique Olivares, but ended up dropping a close 6-3, 7-6 decision.

The Fighting Camels return to action tomorrow as they head to Spartanburg, S.C. to take on USC Upstate. Matches are slated to begin at 11:00 a.m.
