LAST TIME OUT
The DBU men's tennis team had an eventful and successful week in Orlando, Florida, facing a tough lineup of opponents and showcasing their depth and resilience. The Patriots started strong with a dominant 6-1 victory over West Chester, sweeping the doubles round and securing wins across the board in singles play. However, their next challenge came against nationally ranked Ferris State, where they fell 2-5 despite a strong showing in singles from Matthew Abbey and Fabian Rosales. The Patriots bounced back on Thursday, delivering a pair of solid performances against Coe College, first winning 7-0 and then securing a 5-2 victory. DBU was especially dominant in doubles play, and although the singles results were tighter in the second match, victories from Alec Rule, Kell Castleberry, and Mariano Guzman sealed the win. To wrap up their Florida trip, the Patriots capped the week with a commanding 7-0 win over LaGrange, demonstrating their strength in both doubles and singles. The week was a valuable experience for DBU, highlighting their ability to compete at a high level and setting them up for continued success moving forward.
