BOX SCORE

SAVANNAH, Ga. – The drama keeps building for the 9th-ranked UWF men's tennis team. On Saturday, they upset top-ranked Hawaii Pacific, 5-4, and on Sunday, it was undefeated and 7th-ranked Barry who fell victim to the Argonauts by the same 5-4 ledger at the Armstrong State Tennis Center.
 
UWF improved to 9-1 and collected its third win over a top-10 team this season. The Argos got two doubles and three singles victories for their second-consecutive win over the Buccaneers when they were ranked No. 1. UWF downed Barry almost two years to the day on March 11, 2014 en route to a national championship season.
 
On Sunday, the Argos grabbed the 2-1 lead after doubles, with the No. 2 team of Gabriel Dias/Pedro Roese and the No. 3 duo of 12th-ranked Alfonso Castellano/Pablo Tellez winning their matches.
 
In singles play, UWF earned two more points with straight-set victories from Dias at No. 2 and Sebastian Sanchez at No. 6 as the back-and-forth match was knotted at 4-4 and came down to the No. 5 contest. That's where Castellano and Fabian Pronnet split sets to force a third. Castellano stormed ahead 4-0 before Pronnet fough back to grab a 5-4 lead. But UWF's junior transfer from Pechina, Spain won the final two games to give the Argos the victory.
 
UWF, which remained perfect in seven matches against South region opponents, will face No. 3 ranked Armstrong State (11-3) on Tuesday morning at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
