Macon, GA - The Knights were back in action on Thursday, February 22nd as they hosted the 14th-ranked Phoenix of Cumberland University. The Knights were coming off of a tremendous victory over Xavier and were looking for more success. The Knights would start off the match by winning the #1 doubles match but would lose the #2 and #3 doubles matches as they would lose the first point of the match. The Knights would go into the singles portion of the match knowing that they would have to win four of the six matches to take the overall match from the Phoenix. The Knights would get victories in the #1, #2, and #4 matches but would lose the #3 and #5 matches as the overall match would come down to the #6 singles and final match of the day. The Knights would win the match with Samyak Bajracharya getting the win after being down 15-40 while serving to close out the match.

"Fantastic win for us, this match could have gone either way. We played really strong singles again, continuing where we left off against Xavier last weekend. Thiago and Karen are quality coaches for the men and women at Cumberland University, and this men's match was a battle of two probable top 10 teams by seasons end." Coach Tom Bates
