March 11, 2005

ORLANDO - The UCF men's tennis team will look to extend its winning streak to four matches on Saturday when it hosts in-state rival USF at 1 p.m. Admission to the match at the UCF Tennis Complex is free.

The Golden Knights (5-6) are coming off of a 6-1 thrashing of visiting Boston College on Thursday. Head coach Bobby Cashman's squad has excelled on the doubles side as of late. Against the Eagles, UCF won all three of the doubles matches.

At the No. 1 spot, the senior tandem of Joel Allen and Antonio Sierra have won all six of their matches this season. The duo blew past Boston College's Soma Kesthely and Geoff Mueller, 8-2.

The Bulls (3-7) have dropped four consecutive matches. On Thursday, the squad lost to No. 69 Virginia Tech, 4-1, in Tampa.

The tilt with UCF is the first of four tough matches on the road for USF. After facing the Golden Knights, the Bulls visit No. 32 South Alabama, No. 17 LSU and finish up at No. 7 Florida.
