JACKSON, Miss. - After a big road win at Alabama Friday night to begin Southeastern Conference play, the Ole Miss men's tennis team stopped in Jackson, Mississippi Saturday and picked up a 4-0 win at Jackson State.
The two teams were originally scheduled to play twice on Sunday, but due to the threat of inclement weather, they decided to move it up to Saturday and only play once.
Jackson native Robert Mounger teamed up with freshman Tim Sandkaulen for a 6-0 win at No. 3 doubles and then Gustav Hansson and Fabian Fallert won 6-3 at No. 1 doubles to clinch the first point.
In singles, 17th-ranked Hansson won 6-0, 6-0 at the top spot against JSU's Joan Sanson. Fallert downed Federico Mendeita 6-0, 6-2 at No. 3 singles and then Sandkaulen finished it off, 6-2, 6-2, against the Tigers' Alawi Andrey at No. 2 singles.
At the Net...
• The Rebels are now 6-2 on the year
• Fabian Fallert improved to 11-5 overall, 5-2 in dual matches
• Gustav Hansson improved to 12-6 overall, 4-2 in dual matches
