Norfolk, Va. - The Old Dominion University men's tennis team rolled to a 6-1 win over the visiting Hoyas of Georgetown in the first of two matches Friday afternoon. ODU will also host North Carolina Greensboro at 7 p.m. at the Folkes-Stevens Indoor Tennis Center.

The two teams split the first of three doubles matches with the Hoyas winning 9-7 at No. 3 doubles and the Monarchs' team of Rodrigo Souza and Tobias Fanselow cruising to an 8-2 win at the No. 2 doubles slot. However, it took a hard-fought 9-8 (4) victory by Alex Seleznev and Eidy Igarashi over Georgetown's duo of Jeff Schnell and Kevin Walsh to earn the doubles point for ODU.

In singles action the Monarchs took 10 of 12 sets with Seleznev and Fanselow leading the charge. Playing at the No. 1 position, Seleznev cruised to a convincing 6-0, 6-0 victory, while Fanselow's 6-2, 6-2 win was just as dominant.
