BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Campbell ran its win streak to 10 matches Wednesday with a 6-1 victory over North Carolina Wesleyan at the Nisbet Tennis Center.
 
The Fighting Camels (13-4) lost the doubles point to the Battling Bishops (13-2), who are ranked 10th nationally in the latest Division III poll.  However, Campbell won all six singles matches without dropping a set.
 
Campbell has not lost since a 6-1 setback Feb. 26 at No. 32 Duke. 
 
The Camels lost the doubles point for just the second time in their last 12 contests, but Damien Nezar and Benjamin Maes improved to 11-1 on the spring (7-0 at the second position) with a 6-2 victory.
 
Tomas Balazi leveled the score at 1-1 with a 6-3, 6-0 victory at No. 2 singles. Pol Otin then stretched his singles win streak to eight matches with a 6-2, 6-3 triumph at the third position.  Leon Petko followed at No. 4, then Maes provided the decisive point at No. 5.  Noe Macquart won at No. 6 - his seventh singles match in a row – and Nezar accounted for the final point at the top position.
 
Campbell returns to Big South action Saturday with a 1:00 p.m. first serve at Radford in a battle of the top two teams in the league standings.
