WILKES-BARRE – The Wilkes University men's tennis team took all three doubles flights before claiming three singles matches on way to a 6-0 victory over cross-town rival King's College in a rain-shortened match on Wednesday afternoon at the Kirby Park courts.
 
Wilkes moved to 16-3 overall and a perfect 5-0 in MAC Freedom matches following the road win.
 
Courtney Murphy (Bronx, NY/Christopher Columbus) and Troy Haas (Huntington Station, NY/Walt Whitman) took a tightly-contested match at No. 1 doubles 9-7 before Adam Lefkandinos (Toms River, NJ/Toms River North)/Andrew Neidig (Matamoras, PA/Delaware Valley) and Jonathan White (Saylorsburg, PA/Pleasant Valley)/Artyom Nabokin (Las Vegas, NV/Danvers) made easy work of their pairs matches at No. 2 and No. 3 winning 8-0 and 8-1.
 
Lefkandinos took his singles match 6-2, 6-1 at No. 3 before White won 6-1, 6-0 at No. 4 to clinch the victory. Neidig claimed a 6-0, 6-0 straight set win at No. 6 before the rains came in to end the match early due to wet court conditions.
 
Wilkes is back in action tomorrow (Thursday) hosting Keystone College in a non-league match scheduled for 5:00 p.m. at the Ralston Athletic Complex.
