ASTON, Pa. -The Knights opened the 2007 season on a high note with a 5-2 win over the Arcadia University in men's tennis action this afternoon.

The Knights won two of three doubles matches to go up 1-0 early in the match. Matthew Ford and Barry Harvey outlasted Kevin Langner and Chris Belden 8-3 at No.2 and Andrew Bitar and Steve Klenk were hardly challenged as they rode to an 8-2 victory at third doubles.

Ford rode to a 6-2, 6-2 straight set decision at No. 3 singles, while Harvey won at No. 5 6-1, 6-0 and Klenk posted a win at No. 6.

The Knights are idle until March 22 when they head to Center Valley, Pennsylvania to take on DeSales University.
