SHEPHERDSTOWN, WV - Robin Luetzig (Hadamar, Germany/Furst Johann Ludwig Schule) notched a pair of wins on the day as the Bloomsburg University men's tennis team defeated Shepherd University 4-0 Sunday afternoon. The Huskies have now won three straight matches, and improve to 5-4 overall on the season.

Luetzig and Oliver Wiesemann (Jena, Germany/Colegio de La Asuncion Malaga) would get the scoring started early with a 6-1 win over Kaleb Lochner and Ryan Cox at #2 doubles, and a 6-4 win for Lucas Pedrotti (Caxias do Sul, Brazil/Sao Jose) and Bernardo Abreu (Belo Horizonte, Brazil/Rogedo) over Carter Davis and Evan Dokken at #1 would complete the doubles sweep for Bloomsburg.
