ROME, Ga. -- Alejandro Hernandez and Alejandro Flores represented the University of the Incarnate Word men's tennis program at the ITA Masters Championships this week, going 0-2.

Hernandez and Flores went toe-to-toe with Emil Matikainen and Marcus Schoeman of Penn State in the opening round Thursday. After losing 6-4 in the first set, the UIW pair won set two 6-3 before ultimately losing 10-6 in the third.

They were then eliminated with a 6-2, 6-4 loss to Clement Mayoral and Antoine Mayoral of Middle Tennessee State.

Hernandez and Flores qualified for Masters by virtue of a winning the doubles title at the Southland Conference Fall Championships in October.

This concludes the fall portion of the Cardinals schedule. UIW now turns its attention to the spring, where it will look to defend its 2026 SLC regular season championship.
