MACON, Ga. – The Mercer men's tennis program (8-11, 2-1) returned to winning ways with a 6-1 victory over UNCG (4-18, 0-6) on Sunday at the LeRoy Peddy Tennis Center. The Bears won all six singles matches to claim the conference win.

Nemanja Stefanovic and Marceau Foulihoux easily beat Harrison Gwynn and Wyatt Cannon at the third doubles slot, but neither of the other two Mercer pairs earned a win, securing the doubles point for the Spartans. This would be the only point UNCG earned on the day.

Foulihoux tied the match with a 6-2, 6-1 win on court four over Christopher Johns. The sophomore continues to lead the way for the Bears with his 14^th singles win of the season.

With a 6-1, 6-4 win on court three by Stefanovic, Mercer took the lead and never surrendered it. Samuel MacLeod continued the straight-set victory trend by beating Devon Moskowitz 6-3, 6-1 on court five.

Samuel Barrow was the first three-set contest to finish, clinching the match for Mercer. The junior took down Andrew Black 6-3, 1-6, 6-1 for his eighth singles win of the season.

Both Lucas Dini and Mariano Argote dropped the first set to UNCG but fought back to win in three sets. Dini finished next on court two with a 3-6, 6-3, 6-0 victory over John Gabelic. Argote earned the final point for the Bears, defeating Tymofiy Khrystyuk 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 on court one.

UP NEXT: Mercer hits the road for a three-game away stretch, beginning at Wofford on Saturday, April 8.
