DeLAND, Fla.—For the second match in a row, Yannick Zuern clinched the match for the University of North Florida men's team as they downed Stetson 5-2 on Saturday morning at the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center.

"We had some good and not so good performances today," said assistant coach Julien Belair. "But what was clear across the board was that everyone came out and competed really well. That's what allowed us to win today."

The Ospreys clinched the doubles point with wins at No. 1 and No. 3 doubles. Jack Findel-Hawkins and Norbert Nemcsek took down Nathan Debut and Hans Adrian Riseng 8-3 at the No. 1 spot. At the No. 3 position, Mark Hamill and Zach Goldberg defeated Cahit Kapukiran and Egor Panyushkin 8-2 to clinch the point.

In singles, the Ospreys claimed wins at the No. 2, No. 3, No. 4 and No. 6 singles spots. Nemcsek grabbed the first of the singles points with a 6-3, 4-6, 6-2 win over Kapukiran at the No. 3 spot. At the No. 2 position, Caio Gomes defeated Laurynas Antropikas 6-0, 4-6, 6-3 to take the second singles point for North Florida.

Zuern then clinched the match for the Ospreys downing Graham Ball 7-6 (7-5), 7-6 (7-5) at No. 4 singles. Bernardo Craveiro defeated Panyushkin 6-2, 5-7, 10-8 to earn the final singles point for the team.
