After dropping all three doubles matches, the John Carroll University men's tennis team's perfect OAC record was in peril. The Blue Streaks (7-7, 4-0 OAC) would need a near-perfect effort in singles play.

Near-perfect was John Carroll taking five of the six singles points to take the match in come-from-behind fashion 5-4 over Baldwin Wallace on Wednesday afternoon at Ursuline College in Pepper Pike, Ohio.

Hunter Pellegrini's match was the most critical as the senior dropped the first set and needed to come all of the way back. The senior rebounded to take the 5-7, 6-3, 6-4 decision at No. 6 singles.

Jad Abdul-Aal and Nick Siciliano saw their 11-match doubles streak end but the duo both regrouped to win their singles matches. Abdul-Aal took down Peter Harris 6-4, 7-6 and Siciliano won 7-5, 6-1 at No. 4 singles.

Sean Graham (6-4, 6-3) and Kyle Mollison (6-2, 4-1 retired) won their singles matches to secure the win.

The win was the Blue Streaks first over the Yellow Jackets since a 6-3 triumph in 2011.

Baldwin Wallace (13-2, 2-1 OAC) won all three doubles points.
