FAYETTEVILLE, N.C.  After a one-year hiatus, the annual Methodist University Men's Tennis Fall Invitational concluded its three days of action with Sunday's matches, getting in 81 singles matches and 32 doubles matches at the Gene Clayton Tennis Center.

Unable to host the event last year, the Monarchs welcomed Averett University, Barton College, Guilford College and University of Mount Olive to the 2021 event, enjoying sunny skies and pleasant temperatures all three days at the Tennis Center.

Seven flights of singles action covered the courts Saturday and Sunday, following a Friday afternoon of all-doubles action.

Though Methodist did not win any of the flights, several Monarchs played in or won third-place matches, including the pairings of Jordan Theron and Quinn McNamara (doubles Flight-1) and AJ Rogers and E.J. Stolmeijer (doubles, Flight-2).

Theron and McNamara downed Oscar Marmastedt and Johan Holdersson of Barton , 8-3, and Rogers and Stolmeijer captured their third-place match with an 8-4 victory over teammates Harrison Bitzberger and Spencer Kieft.

Stolmeijer added a third-place in the singles brackets, taking his Flight-2 match, 6-2 and 6-3, over Evan Wong of Guilford.

Theron and Alex Lycan also reached third-place matches, with Theron taking fourth-place in Flight-1 and Lycan doing the same in Flight-5.

Henry Murray (Flight-1) and McNamara (Flight-3) won the fifth-place matches in their respective brackets, and Rogers (Flight-2), Luke Laney (Flight-3), Will Trocchi (Flight-4) and Jaben Hardin (Flight-5) were all seventh-place match winners.

The Monarchs follow their own three-day event with a similar weekend on September 10-12 at the Virginia Wesleyan (University) Fall Invitational in Norfolk, Virginia.
