ASHLAND, Va. - Sophomore Gabe Elder clinched the match for Bridgewater College men's tennis over Randolph-Macon on Wednesday in come from behind fashion.

The Eagles opened up play by taking two of the doubles points. At the top spot senior Canon Secord and freshman Matthew Leonard teamed up for a 8-0 win. Sophomore Bryce Cline stepped in the line up at No. 3 doubles and teamed up with Elder for an 8-5 win.
