Trey Mallory & Seahawks Win CAA Tennis Title
Trey Mallory and his UNC Wilmington Seahawks teammates have won the 2023 Colonial Athletic Association Men’s Tennis Championship, with Mallory winning the last match to clinch the title for his team.
The UNCW Sports website said, “No. 1 seed UNCW won the doubles point and added three singles victories to defeat No. 3 Elon, 4-1, in the championship match of the 2023 Colonial Athletic Association Men’s Tennis Championship on Sunday at William & Mary’s McCormack-Nagelsen Tennis Center.
“We’re going to enjoy the moment and get some rest. We’re going to keep doing what we’ve been doing. These guys love playing the best teams. We’ll be excited about playing in the NCAA Tournament.”
“We knew we could win without the doubles point, but we also knew they have three very strong players in the top three spots,” said DuBois.
“In singles, Rasamatov, a junior, raised the score to 2-0 with a 6-4, 6-3, decision over Condos at the No. 4 slot and sophomore Harold Huens kept the momentum going with a 6-0, 6-4, conquest of Nicholas Campbell at No 2 singles to stake the Seahawks to a 3-0 advantage.
“After the Phoenix won at the top of the lineup to slice the deficit to 3-1, sophomore Trey Mallory of UNCW delivered the clincher – his third of the season – by outlasting Zipay, 7-6, 1-6, 6-2, at No. 6 singles.”
DuBois said, “Trey’s played great all year. His opponent almost played a perfect set in the second set. Trey came out on fire in the third set. I was really impressed with this play today.”
