SAN ANTONIO - The University of the Incarnate Word men's tennis team went undefeated at two singles and one doubles spot at the Trinity Invitational, which ended early due to weather issues.

Marcel Miralles reached the finals both in singles, and with doubles partner
Agustin Salazar, while
Ian Uraga also made it to the championship match of his flight.
Competing in flight two, Miralles opened with a 6-3, 1-6, 10-5 opening-round win over Oliver Eriksson of St. Mary's then got another three-set win, 4-6, 6-2, 10-5 against Roshin Kamath of Trinity in round two.
He was set to face Trinity's Fabio Di Loreto in the final round.
In flight two of doubles, Miralles and Salazar received a first-round bye, then defeated Di Loreto and Kartic Gusain 8-5 in the semifinals. Their finals opponent was William Bayliss and Charlie Woods of Texas Wesleyan.
