JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -After a hard day of battle on the court, the University of North Florida men's tennis team found itself victorious twice on Saturday, earning conference road wins at No. 29 Augusta State and No. 35 USC Aiken.
After a sweep in doubles against Augusta State, UNF was able to capture two more matches in singles to earn the 5-0 victory, with the other four matches not being completed. No. 16 Gomes/Escallon took out No. 12 Intriago/Meza to aid in North Florida's victory.
The Ospreys then traveled to Aiken, S.C. and defeated the Pacers 5-0 in another shortened match. Once again UNF was able to sweep doubles and earn two singles victories.
"The guys were ready to play today, especially in doubles," UNF head coach Tom Schrader said. "We wanted to take care of business, and were able to do that over the course of a long day."
The two victories improved the No. 6 Ospreys to 14- 4 on the season, and 5-1 in Peach Belt Conference play.
North Florida will next be in action on March 31 when they take on cross-town rival Jacksonville at 1 p.m. at JU.
