Men's Tennis Advances To ASUN Semifinals Defeating No. 4 Lipscomb, 4-2

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – No. 5-seeded North Florida men's tennis took down No. 4 Lipscomb, 4-2, on their home court in the first round of the ASUN Championship tournament on Thursday afternoon at UNF Tennis Complex.

The Ospreys have won each of their last three ASUN tournament matches dating back to last season and a 6-2 mark in postseason play over the past four years. UNF has defeated its first round matchup in conference postseason play in each season since 2022.

After a rough start to doubles play down a point early, UNF came out with their best to open singles competition taking the first set in five of the six courts. Three freshmen made up the middle courts with Youssef Labbene, Jean Deloziere and Joao Portugal, as they all secured wins against their respective Bison opponents.

With the score tied at 2-2, Portugal joined Andreas Scott, who was recently named ASUN Player & Scholar-Athlete of the Year, to secure the victory with 6-4 second-set wins to get pass Lipscomb. They avenged their road loss from last weekend and will look to do it again on Friday, April 18, against No. 1 North Alabama.
