SUMTER, S.C. – The Converse University men's tennis team picked up their first ever Conference Carolinas tournament win on Friday morning, before falling in the second round on Friday afternoon.
 
Converse opened the tournament with a 5-2 win over North Greenville University on Friday morning. The Valkyries top two doubles tandems secured the doubles point with a pair of 6-4 wins over their opponents. Going into the singles portion of the match the Valkyries made quick work of the Crusaders with straight set wins from Gregoire Legrand, Leopold Morel and Cameron Davies.
