MONTEVALLO, Ala. – The Montevallo men's tennis team earned its first win of the season with a 6-1 rout over Delta State on Sunday, March 6. 
 
The Falcons stated the day with a win in the doubles point after Dylan Kamel and Paul Sobich defeated DSU in the second doubles slot, 6-2. Since the Statesmen fielded just two doubles pairs, Montevallo won the point by forfeit. 
 
With a two-point cushion due to forfeits, Montevallo took three of the singles points with comeback wins from Julius Ziebart (3-6, 6-3, 6-2) and Paul Sobich (6-7, 6-3, 6-2). Fabricio Sosa added the final singles point with a straight set 6-3, 6-0 win in the No. 4 singles. 
 
UP NEXT: Montevallo will continue conference play with a road trip to Clinton, Miss. to take on Mississippi College on Thursday, March 9.
