SAINT LEO, Fla. - The Saint Leo University Men's tennis team continues to steamroll through its 2023 schedule, defeating #10 Embry-Riddle (Fla.) 7-0 Thursday evening at the Saint Leo Tennis Center.
 
Three Doubles matches were played, as the top duo in Fifth-year Ghali Mensour and Sophomore Vincent Thiel defeated Eagles' Alexis Guedy and Michele Iftimie 7-5.  Tao Castillo and newcomer Ivan Marrero had the largest win (6-1) of the day over Alonso Fernando and Alvaro Diaz Rodrigo, as Nicolas Bacella and Junior Luis Iriarte won 6-4 over Lukas Schneider and Luke Paschal.
 
Individually, both Iriarte and Graduate Marin Soukal posted the biggest wins of the day, each beating their opponents with a score of 6-1, 6-2.
 
"Our guys did a good job today" said Head Coach Chad Berryhill.  "Came out with good energy in Doubles to set the tone.  Singles I also thought we did a good job and had players step in and step up.  Embry-Riddle is a tough team and gave some punches for sure but our guys were good about punching back and earned a Top 10 win.  Best of all, we are getting better every time we get out on the court."
 
The Green & Gold are back in action Saturday, as the Lions host #4 Flagler College.  First serve is set for 2 p.m.
