UNCW sophomore Agustin Savarino defeated William & Mary's Christian Cargill in three sets to power the top-seeded Seahawks to their fifth Colonial Athletic Association Men's Tennis title with a 4-2 victory over the No. 3-seeded Tribe late Sunday at the Piedmont Tennis Center.

Playing indoors because of inclement weather, the Seahawks pushed their record to 14-8 on the season and secured the CAA's automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament. W&M ended the campaign at 11-12.
