CLEMSON, S.C. - The No. 59 Maryland men's tennis team earned its 10th win of the season today with a 4-3 win at No. 62 Clemson.

The Terps (10-7, 2-6) were tied with the Tigers (13-15, 1-7) 3-3 before junior co-captain Nickolai Nielsen won at singles to clinch the victory for Maryland.

Terrapins Amit Inbar and Boris Fetbroyt won at No. 1 doubles, though the Terps lost the doubles point. Maryland also had singles wins from Andrew Orban, David Kwon, and Michael Coleman.

Playing in his first match since March 21 due to an injury, Orban earned a win at No. 2 singles against No. 122-ranked Gera Boryachinskiy in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2.

Following a singles loss by Fetbroyt to Ike Belk, the Terps drew even once again with a victory at No. 6 singles by Coleman. Maryland's only senior earned his fourth singles win of the season 6-3, 6-2, playing against Tino Elgner.
