PENSACOLA, Fla.- The #12 West Florida Men's Tennis Team secured a victory over ranked opponent #8 Ouachita Baptist on Wednesday afternoon to improve their record to 12-2 overall and continue their undefeated winning streak at home to 9-0.

"Ouachita Baptist is ranked eighth in the country, so we knew it was going to be a very tough match. This is really our fourth tough match in the last six days and the guys have really stepped up to the challenge," said head coach Derrick Racine.

Against the Tigers, the Argonauts secured two of the three doubles matches to earn the lone point.

In doubles play, Facundo Bermejo and Luis Miralles Miro came in from the No. 1 position, sweeping the first victory for the Argos 6-0. Pedro Cordeiro and his partner Bernardo Costa won the other point 6-3 to take the win from the No. 3 position.

Salvador Bandeira and Albin Ekenros fell in a close match from the No. 2 position 4-6.

"Once again a big key to our victory has been our doubles play we won the doubles point and that just makes the guys so much more confident going into the singles," commented Racine.

Heading into singles, the Argonauts had the lead and carried that momentum into singles, winning five out of the six singles matches. Five of the singles matches had to be determined by tiebreakers.

Juan Cabrera dominated in his usual fashion, winning his match 6-3, 7-5 from the No. 1 position. Bernardo Costa was victorious from the No. 2 position, winning his match in a tiebreaker 6-2, 7-6, 4-0.

Facundo Bermejo secured the final point for the Argonauts, being victorious from the No. 2 position 3-6, 6-3, 7-6.

In the bottom half of the lineup, Sotelo won his match in a tiebreaker 7-5, 7-6, 3-0 from No. 4 position. Bandeira won the first set 6-2, lost the second 5-7, and finished with a victory 10-8. Miro played a great match from the No. 6 position, but lost in a tiebreaker, 3-6, 6-7, 0-4.

"Once again, every match was very close and a back-and-forth battle but the guys remained very headstrong and pulled out all but one of the singles matches. I am super proud of this team and how hard they are competing this weekend will be another tough test for the Argos but I'm sure the guys will be ready to rise to the challenge," said Racine.

West Florida Men's Tennis will travel to play ranked opponents #11 Lynn and #3 Columbus State this weekend for what will be a great match for Division II men's tennis.
