CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Despite a strong day from
Christiaan Lee-Daigle (Tecumseh, Ontario, L'Essor Secondary School), Queens’ men’s tennis team couldn’t rally past third-seeded Mount Olive in the quarterfinals of the Conference Carolinas Men’s Tennis Championship Tournament Friday afternoon.
Lee-Daigle teamed with
Raahil Dhruva (London, England, Parmiter's) to defeat Alexandre Queiros and Thiago Dualiby, 8-1. He would win his second match of the day during singles play when he knocked off Gabriel Santana (6-3, 6-1) in the first flight.
Gustavo Munhoz (Santos, Brazil, COC Universitario) picked up the final point for the Royals in a see-saw match against Diogo Sender, winning 6-2, 0-6, 6-3.
All top seeds found success on Friday and will advance to the semifinals: No.1 Lees-McRae shutout No. 8 Pfeiffer, 5-0; No. 2 Anderson clipped No. 7 Erskine, 5-1; and No. 4 Limestone defeated No. 5 Barton College, 5-2.
The Royals will return to action later today against No. 7 Erskine in the consolation bracket.
