ASHLAND, Va. – Freshman Barrett Foster (Virginia Beach, VA) and Senior Tyler Brice (Rocky Mount, NC) bounced back from their doubles loss to win the No. 1 and No. 2 singles, pacing Hampden-Sydney to a 7-2 win over arch-rival Randolph-Macon, in their final regular season match.  The win over the Yellow Jackets guarantees the Tigers will be at home for the first round of ODAC conference tournament.

The last win in doubles sparked a run for Hampden-Sydney, as Foster won a hard fought No. 1 singles 2-6, 6-2, 1-0 (10-7), which was followed by a big win from his doubles partner Brice, 6-0, 6-4.  Freshman Taylor Fox (Virginia Beach, VA) took care of his opponent in No. 3 singles, 6-3, 6-3, while Singleton also won in straight sets 6-4, 6-2 in the No. 4 match.  To round out the day, the Kendrick twins each were victorious in straight sets, with Matt winning 6-2, 6-1 and John securing the victory 6-2, 6-1.

The Tigers will be back in action Tuesday, at home, as the No. 3 seed in the ODAC tournament.  They will await to find out who their opponent will be but in the meantime, will enjoy the win over Randolph-Macon and look to carry their three game win streak into the conference tournament.
