Box Score

Jacksonville, Fla. – North Florida men's tennis was unable to take down ETSU as the Bucs won, 7-0, on Tuesday night at the UNF Tennis Complex.

QUICK HITS
- The lone victory came from No. 3 doubles as Nilo Duarte and Alberto De Meo shut out Miguel Este and Frazier Rengifo.
- The No. 2-6 matches went to three as Lasse Muscheites, Sahil Deshmukh, Till Von Winning and Joe Ellis all battled from a set down to come back and win the second set.
- Von Winning battled to a very tight 7-6 (5) loss at the No. 4 position.
- UNF now moves to 6-7 on the year.

LUCAS SAYS
"Very disappointing result today after some really good tennis in the past few weeks. We didn't close out the doubles when we should have and then started slowly in singles. Obviously losing all five three-set matches shows that we didn't take the opportunities presented to us. We have to be better in the big moments on Thursday."

UP NEXT
The Ospreys have one more home match on March 8 against Middle Tennessee at 5 p.m. UNF then takes almost two weeks off before hitting the road for its opening three ASUN matches beginning on March 24.
