ROME, Ga. – For the fourth time in as many years, Old Dominion captured the Sun Belt Conference Men’s Tennis Championship hosted by the Rome Tennis Center on Sunday afternoon.
 
Since joining the league four years ago, the Monarchs have won every Sun Belt Conference Men’s Tennis Championship they have attended. They will head to the NCAA Tournament with a 20-6 record and are currently ranked No. 54 nationally.
 
The match Sunday started with No. 2 seed Troy (24-5) capturing the doubles point for the third consecutive match at the championship. Luciano Alcocer and Hiiro Sakamoto won 6-3 on court two as Thiago Drozdowski and Stephan Tavares Noale secured the point on court one, 6-4.

Aryan Saleh was the next to finish for the Monarchs on court six, 6-0, 6-3.
