JACKSON - The Belhaven Men's Tennis put together one of its most complete matches of the spring on Wednesday, knocking off LaGrange 5-2 at home.
The tone was set right away in doubles. Jesus Diaz and Josiah Leggett rolled to a 6-0 win at No. 1, and Harshith Anugonda and Briley Oakes followed with another 6-0 result at No. 2 to secure the doubles point.
That momentum carried into singles.
Anugonda handled the top spot with a 6-3, 6-0 win, and Diaz backed it up with a 6-0, 6-1 victory at No. 2. Oakes continued his steady play this season with a straight-set win at No. 5.
The clincher came from Jack Madden at No. 6. After dropping the first set, he settled in and took control, closing things out with a 10-3 super tiebreak to lock up the team win.
