Men's Tennis Takes Season Opener Against Troy, 4-3

Collins Notches First Win as Ospreys' Head Coach

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - North Florida men's tennis (1-0) opened up its spring season with a victory over Troy (0-1), 4-3, on Saturday afternoon at the UNF Tennis Complex. Behind the efforts of eight different players and five starting freshmen, head coach John Collins notched his first victory as the head coach of the Ospreys.

UNF won the doubles point in their opening match to keep the same momentum from last season. Bruno Vietri and Gianluca Filoramo opened up their season with a win. Despite Lorenzo Messina and Jean Deloziere falling in their opening match, the doubles point was later clinched by Joao Portugal and Andreas Scott to give the Ospreys the lead heading into singles play. 

The Trojans were looking to bounce back, but the Ospreys prevailed after going down a set in the first five out of six matches. UNF would eventually battle back, forcing three sets in half of the singles matches. Scott gave the Ospreys their first singles point in a clean sweep. Chase Healey and Youssef Labbene went down a set, but were able to clutch two straight sets in order to give the Ospreys their go-ahead points.
