Follow @RadfordMTennis

BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Campbell swept Radford, 4-0, Saturday afternoon in Big South men's tennis action at the James Nisbet Tennis Center in Buies Creek, N.C.

"I am a little disappointed with the scores," head coach Mike Anderson expressed. "We have some work to do, but I am confident our guys will get to the level necessary to be competitive in the Big South."

The Camels (4-5, 1-0 Big South) claimed the doubles point behind wins at the top two flights. In singles, Campbell captured the decision by prevailing in straight sets on courts 1-3.

Jose Moreno Manzano and Samuel Taylor both led their respective singles bouts before the dual was called due to extremely cold weather.

The Highlanders (1-2, 0-1 Big South) will aim to even their conference record with a win Sunday at Coastal Carolina. First serve is scheduled for 1 p.m. at the Coastal Carolina Tennis Complex in Conway, S.C.
