Bernardo Costa and Mateo Martinez were victorious from the No. 2 position to secure the lone doubles point for the Argos. Albin Ekenros and Adam Svensson's match won their match due to DSU forfeiting from the No. 3 position.

Bermejo won his match in two sets 6-0, 6-1 as the No. 2 in singles. Descarrega was victorious from the No. 1 position 6-2, 6-0 over Emiliano Elizarraraz.

"I like the fact that the rest of the team is stepping up, and really starting to jell and play together," said head coach Derrick Racine. "I feel the team really handled these matches well and took care of business. This is going to prepare us for a super tough schedule as we head into March."

West Florida will have a little less than a week to travel to Valdosta, Ga. to face Lynn on Friday, March 3.
