Emerging South Wilts off-spinner Tom Lewis produced a fine five-wicket spell to set up a victory for Team Solent over Cardiff University in their opening BUCS Championship match at Totton & Eling's Southern Gardens.
The fresher year student took 5-18 as Cardiff collapsed from a decent start to 130 all out - a total Solent overhauled with six wickets down.
Sam Wyatt (46) and Charlie Clist (39) provided the Welsh students with a 70-run start, but once Alton all-rounder Tom South (2-27) broke through Cardiff fell away.
Only South Wilts raised Ed Wade (23) made double figures after that. He became Lewis's first victim before Bashley Rydal's Patrick Holly followed him back to the pavilion.
Lewis and Prince Singh (2-27) cut through the lower order to leave Cardiff a disappointing 130 all out.
Solent didn't find the run chase straight forward, losing Hook & Newnham Basics ace Harry Warner and Jack Stearman cheaply.
South (43) steadied the ship, but a fine spell of 4-20 by Alex Rennie kept Cardiff in the game.
Singh (19) made a handy contribution before Havant's Sony Reynolds (24) and Conor Griffiths (23*) produced the key result defining stand.
