After dropping its first doubles point of the conference season ETSU responded as both Olivares and Ahlgren jumped out to quick first set wins at No. 1 and No. 5. Olivares, the now three-time A-Sun MVP and Player of the Year, rolled past Stetson’s Fillip Kricka 6-0, while Ahlgren opened by taking the first frame 6-3 over Gokay Celik.

Just as it looked like ETSU was getting back on track, Stetson kept fighting, as Maksim Levanovich battled game-for-game at No. 3 with sophomore Grega Teraz (Mojstrana, Slovenia) and the Hatters’ Njal Stene took the first set at No. 4 singles against junior Daniel Isaza (Medellin, Columbia).

Meanwhile with both Akser and Gille locked up with Mark Mestan and Gallo late in the first set, Fillip Kricka rallied back against Olivares on court one taking the second-set tiebreaker 7-6 (7-4). Even with Stetson still hanging tough at No. 1, the Bucs depth was starting to show, wearing down the Hatters at No. 2, No. 5 and No. 6.

After Gille closed out his first set with Mestan 6-4 and Akser took control with a strong 6-3, opening set win, senior captain Alex Ahlgren continued to inch closer to his victory taking a commanding 4-1 lead midway through his second set.

Then with the momentum building and a record-breaking crowd around to watch history in the making, No. 13-ranked Olivares responded in a big way. After splitting with first-team all-conference member Kricka the first two sets, Olivares regained his shot making ability breezing through the final set 6-0.

With ETSU now on the board fellow captain Alex Ahlgren added to the Buc advantage closing out his final set 6-2. As the electric atmosphere built Sander Gillie founded his rhythm blowing past Mestan in the final frame 6-2, stretching the Buccaneer lead to 3-1.

Stetson’s last hope came as Levanovich closed out Teraz at No. 3, 6-2, setting up Akser’s unbelievable win at No. 5.

With the victory the Bucs become the first A-Sun team to earn three consecutive titles since UCF won three-straight from 2003-2005. Also with the ETSU women's tennis team winning earlier in the day, ETSU becomes the first A-Sun school since FIU in 1994 to claim both the men’s and women’s championships in the same season.

ETSU will now wait for the NCAA’s 2009 Selection Show which will take place live Tuesday, April 28th on ESPNNews. Both the single and doubles selections will be released a day later on Wednesday, April 29th through the NCAA website.
