PHILADELPHIA -- The Drexel men's tennis team came away with a 4-0 sweep on Morgan State Sunday afternoon in its Homecoming match at the Armory.

With the win, the Dragons improve to 3-1 in the early going.

In doubles play, the Bears forfeited the third spot and the Dragons got a 6-1 win from Hamza Laalej and Youssef Lahlou to take the point. With the point in hand, and the Bears conceding the sixth spot in singles, Laalej and Sinan Orhon gutted out three-set wins to give the Dragons the match. Laalej battled back from a set down to beat Jeremy Field, 4-6, 7-5, 6-3. Orhon beat Arjun Ramakrishnan, 6-3, 3-6, 6-4, for the Drexel victory.

The Dragons will return to action next Sunday when both the men's and women's teams head to Bethlehem, Pa. for a matchup with Lehigh.
