BLACKSBURG, VA. – Campbell defeated UNC Asheville Friday afternoon 4-0 to advance to the final of the Big South Conference men's tennis championship.
The semifinal matches were moved indoors to the Burrows-Burleson Tennis Center on the Virginia Tech campus because of thunderstorms that crossed the Southeastern U.S. Friday.
