WILLIAMSBURG, Ky.--No. 13 Cumberlands wins the doubles point and sweeps singles for a 7-0 sweep over No. 20 Cumberland Sunday afternoon.

"It was not a good start in doubles, it will be a long week, so we have to keep our heads up and have a positive attitude and keep grinding as the next few weeks will be very important for us as a team," head coach Thiago Lins said.

The Phoenix took one of the three doubles matches as Daniel Wessels and German Suarez defeated Mattis La Montagner and Luis Montull Piniero 6-2. The Patriots won at No. 1 and No. 3 doubles for the point.

The Patriots swept Cumberland in singles matches to get the 7-0 win. The Phoenix fall to 1-1 in conference play.

Cumberland will take on McKendree tomorrow morning in Lebanon at 9:00 a.m.
