In singles action, UIW won all but one match in straight sets.  In #3 singles Mario Jakovljevic (Osijek, Croatia/Davor Hilas) was able to get by Carlos Perez in a third set tie break 6-2, 4-6, 10-6.  Brandon Davis (New Braunfels/New Braunfels) continued his hot streak picking up his fifth straight win with a 6-3, 6-1 victory over Preston Steblein. Incarnate Word moved to 7-3 on the year with the win. 

On the women's side, the Cardinals got their second straight sweep in three days.  UIW easily got through their doubles matches heading to singles play with a 3-0 lead.  Like the men, they won all of their singles matches in straight sets except for one. At #6 singles, Jill Simon (Portland/Gregory-Portland) picked up her second straight win with a 2-6, 6-1, 10-6 win over Brandy Curry.  The Cardinals moved to 7-6 on the season. 

Both Cardinal teams will return to action on Tuesday morning as they host Newman University at 9:00 a.m. at the Mabry Tennis Center.
