PLANO, Texas – The Midwestern State men's opened the 2013 season with a 7-2 win over Collin College at the Cougar Tennis Center.
 
The MSU men swept all three doubles matches and claimed all but the top two singles matches.
 
"It was a good opener," said MSU Coach Scott Linn.  "I was very pleased with the play of our freshmen.  There's a lot of potential on the team."
 
The top doubles team of senior Luke Joyce and freshman Austin Crawford dispatched Collin's No. 1 team of Patrick Clynes and Oscar von Koch 8-5, while MSU's No. 2 team of sophomores Kacper Boborykin and Tomas Grejtak downed CC's Donovan McSeveney and Ian Souix 8-6.
 
Freshmen Franko Siljeg and Kyle Davidson won at No. 3 over Collin's Chris Carillo and Gino Raneri 8-5.
 
In singles, Siljeg ripped von Koch 6-0, 6-1 at No. 3, while Davidson downed Carillo 6-1, 6-1 at No. 4.
 
Crawford won at No. 5 over Kyle Funk 6-1, 6-3, as Grejtak downed Sioux 6-0, 6-3 at No. 6.
 
Collin took the top two singles spots with McSeveney beating Joyce 7-5, 6-1 at No. 1 and Clynes beating Boborykin 6-1, 6-3 at No. 2.
 
Midwestern started a second match against Southeastern Oklahoma State, but rain halted it after the doubles matches with MSU up 2-1.  However, that result was washed away with the rain.
 
MSU and Southeastern have rescheduled the match for Tuesday, March 5 in Durant, Okla.
