LAKELAND, Fla. – The second-ranked Saint Leo University men's tennis team's doubles pair of Luis Iriarte and Eduardo Cohen finished as the runner-up in the 2024 ITA Regional Championship in the doubles main bracket.

DOUBLES
Luis Iriarte and Eduardo Cohen went 4-0 over the first three days to secure a spot in the doubles title match. The first set of the finals against West Florida's Sebastain Rondon and Diego Duran was close as the two teams traded the first four games before UWF took control and rallied off four games to clinch the opening set. As fatigue started to set in the Lions had a tough task ahead if they were going to force a deciding set. Like the opening set, West Florida had everything go right for it and rallied off a 6-1 win in the second set to take the doubles title.
