Hinsdale, Ill.- The UIC men's tennis team picked up a shortened 4-0 victory over in-state rival Bradley at the Hinsdale Racquet Club on Saturday evening.

The Flames (4-3) took the double point to go up early, using paired wins from the team of Andy Lockhart and Eric Fey and the tandem of Sam Sweeney and Sebastian Lystad to take two of the three matches.

In singles action the Flames took command, as Fey, Lockhart, and Lystad clinched their singles matches in straight sets to give the Flames the win.

UIC will return to the courts during their spring trip through Texas later this month, beginning with a dual match at Texas-Dallas on March 26th.
