MOBILE, Ala. - UNF men's tennis (2-3) took the doubles point but after a rain shower in the middle of singles play, USF (5-2) emerged on the other side with the 5-2 win Saturday, February 27 in a neutral site match at South Alabama. 

The Ospreys won at pairs two and three to win doubles. Nilo Duarte and Rodrigo Crespo improved to a 2-1 as a pair while PJ Kotan and Federico Nani moved to 1-1 at the second slot. 

Rain interrupted play after most courts completed the first set of singles. Dominik Barton picked up UNF's lone singles victory, a three-set grinder that saw him overcome a 6-0 loss in set two with a tiebreak win in set three.
