FARMVILLE, VA. – Ted Williams provided the decisive point in singles play and Campbell defeated Longwood 4-3 Friday in a Big South Conference men's tennis dual match at Lancer Courts.
 
The Camels (9-4, 3-1) won for the eighth time in their last nine outings by claiming the doubles point, then splitting the singles matches.  Longwood won at No. 1, 2 and 5 singles, but dropped to 8-5, 1-2 in the Big South.
 
Bastien Huon and Fernando Clemente paired for a 6-1 victory at the third doubles position; then Dustin Werner and Raphael Calzi earned a 6-4 win at the top post to secure the point.

After Guilherme Sergio pushed the Lancers back in front with a 6-1, 7-5 win over Bastien Huon at number two singles. Calzi and Ted Williams provided the winning points – both after dropping the first set – for the defending Big South champs.
