JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - North Florida men's tennis (1-7) fell at home to a stout South Florida Bulls (4-2) team on Friday afternoon at UNF Tennis Complex.

The Ospreys showed promise in doubles play, as they looked to grab the point but were unable to. Line one for UNF was in a narrow 4-3 deficit and was looking aggressive when their match went unfinished.

UNF looked to flip the script in singles play with their eyes set on taking points early. Senior Bruno Vietri showed signs of life for the Ospreys, as he won the first set of his match and used all three sets in his match, but UNF dropped its matchup to the Bulls.
