The Short Story: In just its second home match in nearly a month, the VCU Men's Tennis squad dominated the Spartans of Michigan State, 5-0, to kick off a busy weekend for the Black & Gold. Juniors Alejandro Argente (pictured, main) and Alexis Heugas (pictured, top right) earn victories on both the singles and doubles court to lead the Black & Gold to its seventh win of the spring season.
