UIC @ Omaha Results

OMAHA, Neb. - The UIC men's tennis team (6-6) picked up its third straight victory in Saturday as it swept Nebraska-Omaha (5-9) at the Miracle Hill.

"We played solid in doubles to get the win," said head coach Hans Neufeld. "In singles we did a good job executing our game plan with a workmanlike effort."

Carl Hedstrom made quick work of his singles opponent and won in straight sets at the No. 1 position (6-3, 7-5). He owns five wins at the top spot this season. Mitch Granger picked up his third-consecutive victory at No. 3 singles as he was victorious in straight sets (6-3, 6-2).

Marcelo Dib pushed his match to three sets, eventually defeating his opponent, 6-4, 4-6, 10-7. In the No. 2 singles spot, Christopher Cole defeated Matt Dunn, 6-4, 6-3. Nate Campanile and Max Cederkall closed out singles play with victories in the No. 5 and 6 positions, respectively.

Granger and Cole fought a hard match against Buckley and Warson, but ultimately fell by a score of 6-4. Hedstrom and Campanile downed opponents Anderson and Woodward, 6-4, at the No. 2 spot. Duo Cederkall and Dib then secured the doubles point for the Flames with a 6-4 victory at No.3.

UIC returns to action next weekend, March 19-20, when it travels to Tulsa, Okla. to play a pair before starting Horizon League play. The Flames are slated to compete against South Dakota State and Oral Roberts while in Tulsa.
