UIW Doubles Squad Earns Impressive Win at SMU

DALLAS -- For the second weekend in a row, the University of the Incarnate Word men's tennis team had a highly impressive showing in doubles play, this time at the Ralston/Neufeld Coaches Challenge, hosted by SMU.

After opening Friday action with a 7-5 win over Dmitri Goubin and Victor Alvares De Castro Rocha of UTSA, the Cardinal duo of Alejandro Hernandez and Marcel Miralles were dominant against a power conference foe.

Hernandez and Miralles easily handled Caden Hasler and Hardy Owen of BYU, earning a 6-2 victory. 

Advancing to Saturday, Hernandez and Miralles were eliminated with a 6-3 loss to Alvaro Ariel Frutos Alonso and Ruben Fernandez Ruiz of Tulsa.

Hernandez, the defending Southland Conference Player of the Year, is off to a great start again, as he and teammate Alejandro Flores won a doubles championship at the SLC Individual Championships last weekend.
