KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Despite falling in an early hole, the Midway men's tennis team rallied for a 5-2 win at Johnson (Tenn.) in its final match of the fall season.

Down 2-1 after losing the doubles point and falling at No. 1 singles, the Eagles came out on top of the last four singles matches.

Casado beat Gabor Szabo 6-4, 6-1, Clapes won 6-3, 6-2 over Noah Brown and Granitsa earned a 6-1, 6-1 victory against Felipe Amore.
