The Grand Canyon University men’s and women’s tennis teams recorded impressive wins over one of the best in the South Central region, Cameron University, Monday at the Paseo Racquet Center in Glendale, AZ.

The women, ranked 13^th, battled to a 5-4 win over 12^th-ranked Cameron. They are now 10-3, while CU is now 10-2. It also marked the highest ranked win the women have had in the Greg Prudhomme era.

The 13^th-ranked men’s squad defeated 20^th-ranked Cameron, 6-3. The win improved the Antelopes’ overall record to 9-3. CU fell to 12-2.

“We had two very exciting wins today,” said head coach Greg Prudhomme. “The women had a long stretch without any matches. They had strong performances after being down 1-2 in the doubles. The men also had a huge win. Cameron is a team that has been top 20 in the nation for many years. It came down to some hard fought wins. It was a great day on the courts for GCU tennis.”

The women rallied from a 2-1 deficit in the doubles to win four of the six singles matches to edge CU.

Priscilla Annoual, ranked 26^th in the nation, won in straight sets over No. 29 Amanda Moberg. Lana Macukat, Justine Majan and Taylor Young all won their singles matches in straight sets.

The men jumped out to a 2-1 lead and then used a pair of three-set wins by Yann Kaelin and Andrew Mayer to earn the victory. Kaelin was down one set and rallied to win the second set and also 8-6 in a third set tiebreaker.

The men and women will both be off until March 28, when they will close out their home schedule with a match against D-I Idaho State. First serve is scheduled for 10 a.m.
