CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Presbyterian rallied to defeat Campbell 4-2 in the Big South Conference men's tennis semifinal round Friday at the Marion Diehl Tennis Center.
 
The third-seeded Blue Hose (15-9) will meet top seed Gardner-Webb (16-6) in Saturday's 3:00 p.m. championship match.
 
Gardner-Webb, Campbell and PC shared the Big South regular season title with identical 4-1 records.  Tiebreaking procedures slotted the Camels into the second seed in the conference tournament.
 
Last month, PC defeated the Camels 4-3 at Clinton, S.C.  On Friday, PC avenged a 4-3 loss to Campbell in the 2022 semifinal round.
 
The Camels (14-7) won the doubles point behind victories from Gustavs Lukstins and Noe Macquart at No. 2 and Tomas Balazi and Robin Angles in the third match.
 
However, the Blue Hose quickly regained the lead through straight-set wins at the first, fifth and sixth singles positions.
 
Balazi secured a 6-2, 1-6, 6-2 victory at No. 2 singles to draw Campbell within 3-2 on the team ledger.  However, Sebastian Dominquez rallied to earn a 3-set win over Campbell freshman Lukas Steffen at No. 3 for the deciding point.
 
Campbell junior Benjamin Maes led PC's Denim Yadav 4-3 in the third set, but the match was not finished after the team score was decided.
 
Over the last two seasons, Campbell has compiled a 30-13 overall record, 11-1 vs. the Big South in regular season dual matches.
