🎾 Bulldogs Stay Perfect: SC State Rolling Through MEAC Play

The dominance continues for South Carolina State University, and right now, the Bulldogs look like the team to beat in the MEAC.

With a commanding 6-1 victory over Norfolk State, SC State kept its conference record spotless, improving to 4-0 in MEAC play while building momentum at the perfect time in the season.

From the opening serve, the Bulldogs set the tone.

SC State swept all three doubles matches to grab early control, showcasing chemistry and depth across the lineup. The pairs of Mikalai Bankou and Novak Novakovic, along with Iliyas Muratuly and Andrii Borodatiuk, delivered decisive wins, while the third doubles team closed things out in a tight finish.

That early momentum carried straight into singles—and that’s where the Bulldogs slammed the door.

SC State captured five of six singles matches, with standout performances across the board. Bankou and Novakovic handled business in straight sets at the top of the lineup, while Borodatiuk, Gabriel Johnson, and Hoang Anh Pham each added dominant wins to secure the team victory.

The result? A team that isn’t just winning—but controlling matches from start to finish.

Now sitting at 9-6 overall, SC State has turned conference play into a statement run, blending experienced leadership with lineup depth that few teams in the MEAC can match.

With the regular season winding down and postseason play on the horizon, the message is clear:

The Bulldogs aren’t chasing the top spot—they’re defending it.
