BALTIMORE, Md. – The Morgan State men's tennis team recorded a 7-0 shutout victory over crosstown rival Coppin State on Thursday morning in their final home match of the season at the MSU Tennis Courts.
 
"It's nice to grab an additional home match today," said MSU head coach Matt Townes. "It wasn't expected, but it was definitely exciting. It is also just about the first time all year that we have been fully healthy and they all played well at the same time."
 
Morgan State, which is in the midst of a brilliant season, improved to a 10-10 overall record (4-0 MEAC) and extended their home record to 4-0. Morgan State is just three wins shy of surpassing the Bears' 12-6 mark set in 2008.
 
Senior Evan Ward and sophomore Treajh Ferguson secured a 6-4 victory at No. 1 doubles. The freshmen duo of Jeremy Field and Arjun Ramakrishnan ran away with a 6-0 win at No. 2 doubles, while sophomore tandem Felix Andre and Lucas Krusinski won at No. 3 by a score of 6-2.
 
Ramakrishnan and Krusinski each logged 6-0, 6-0 victories at courts five and six, respectively, while Field finished with a 6-1, 6-0 victory against Gavin Lewis on court three.
 
Ward, the MEAC's reigning Player of the Week, earned his seventh-straight victory by dismantling Andres Diaz 6-1, 6-0 on court four.
 
Ferguson closed out Gabriel Franca 6-4, 6-0 on court one and Felix Andre finished off Christian Duchnak by a final score of 6-3, 7-6 (7-5) on court two.
 
Morgan State will close out the regular season with a three-game road swing. The Bears will travel to the Tidewater area to take on Norfolk State on Saturday, April 16, followed by Hampton on Sunday, April 17. They will face UMBC for the regular season finale on Tuesday, April 19.
