DANVILLE, Va. — Freshman David Lembke's come-from-behind win helped seal a 5-4 Averett win over Bridgewater College on Thursday afternoon.

Lembke dropped his first set 6-4 to Bridgewater's Peter Hawkins before rallying to win the next two sets 6-2, 6-2 to win the No. 2 singles match and clinch the game-winning point for the Cougars (2-4).

The Cougars got straight-set wins from senior Xavier Ruiz and Kiril Orlov at the No. 1 and No. 3 singles positions.

Averett also took two of three doubles matches from Bridgewater (5-3). Ruiz and Lembke won 8-2 and junior Bruno Faidutti and Orlov won 8-5.

The Cougars, who have won two in a row, return to action on Friday at Methodist University.
