The South Carolina State men's teams captured the 2010 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Tennis Championship title at the Millbrook Tennis Center in Raleigh, North Carolina.

South Carolina State topped the Florida A&M Rattlers, 4-1, to win their eighth MEAC crown. The Bulldogs won the doubles points and grabbed wins at the two, four, and five singles positions. Radek Pivonka, an All-Tournament Team selection, defeated FAMU's Michael Moore at the number two spot 7-6, 6-3 to secure the victory.

South Carolina State's Dmytro Kovalevych earned Outstanding Performer accolades after finishing with 3-0 record at the number three and four singles positions and a 3-0 mark in doubles play. Judge was named the Outstanding Coach for the men's team for the sixth time in his career. 

"I knew we had to win the doubles point. We came out and played great doubles. In singles, every court was close and we knew we had to do well at the number four and five spots, explained Judge." "Our guys fought hard and it came down to a couple of points. We just worked hard."

With the wins, both teams receive automatic qualifications to the NCAA Division I Men's and Women's Championship. Team selections will be announced on ESPNews on Tuesday, May 4 at 5 p.m. EST.
