The 15th-ranked Patriot women blanked Anderson 5-0, while the 25th-ranked FMU men got wins at the top three singles positions to upset the 21st-ranked Anderson squad 5-2.
Both Anderson squads played St. Andrews Presbyterian College later in the day and that is why once a decision was reached not all singles matches were completed.
The Patriots women are now 4-0, while the men are 3-0.
Both the FMU men and women will return to action on Feb. 17 with road matches at Mount Olive College at 1 p.m.
