JACKSONVILLE, FL – The men's tennis team started their Florida road trip off with a bang as the Eagles took down Jacksonville 7-0 Monday afternoon at the Keith Watson Family Tennis Complex.

Nadav Ruppin and Guy Kubi were able to knock off Logan Shalmi and Lance Lvovsky 8-4 in No. 2 doubles, as Dejon Bivens and Yuta Hirokawa cruised past Andrew Lerner and Pitt Von Oertzen 8-3 in No. 3 doubles.

Winthrop continued to roll in the singles matches as the Eagles did not drop a single match. In No. 1 singles, Belov took down Fantova 7-5, 7-6, as Bivens defeated Condez 6-3, 6-4 in No. 2 singles. Liran Levy continued the winning trend over Lvovsky in No. 3 singles, as Kubi knocked off Shalmi 6-0, 6-3. In No. 5 singles, Ruppin beat Lerner 6-4, 6-0 and Hirokawa took down Von Oertzen 6-4, 6-2.

"I am proud of the way we started well in doubles and stayed focused throughout the match,” assistant coach Andrew Stubbs said. “This was a good start to our spring break trip."
