MIAMI SHORES, Fla. – The eighth-ranked UWF men's tennis team saw its season come to an end with a 5-0 loss to top-ranked Barry in the 2018 NCAA Division II Men's Tennis South I Regional final at the Buccaneer Tennis Center Tuesday.
 
UWF dropped two early doubles matches, 8-2, before a tiebreaker loss at No. 1 put the Argos in a 3-0 hole heading into singles play.
 
"Give credit to Barry. They played really well," UWF head coach Derrick Racine said. "We had our chances at number one doubles and that was kind of the match. Against a good team like Barry, you aren't able to comeback from 3-0 very often."
 
The Bucs (22-2) earned their two singles points at the first and second spots. At No. 1 Carlos Gomez defeated Nicolas Lecoutre 6-3, 6-4, and Vivien Versier beat Serdar Bojadjiev, 6-2, 6-4 at No. 2.
 
The Argonauts were up a set in three of the four remaining matches when the fifth point was secured.
 
UWF ends the season with a 24-4 record with all four losses coming to teams that qualified for the NCAA Tournament.
 
"We had a great season considering we had a lot of new blood on the team with guys who weren't in the lineup last year," Racine said. "We only had a couple of bad matches and unfortunately one was in the conference final and another today in the regional final."
