DeLAND - After a week-long layoff, the UCF men's tennis team returns to the courts on Wednesday, playing host Stetson in an Atlantic Sun contest. The match begins at 2:30 p.m. at the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center.
The Golden Knights (10-8) have been idle since topping visiting Arkansas-Little Rock, 4-0, on March 30. UCF has claimed two matches in a row.
Senior Antonio Sierra has won 10-consecutive singles tilts and is 12-4 this spring. Along with fellow senior Joel Allen, he has posted a 12-3 mark in doubles, with all but one victory coming at the top spot.
At No. 5 singles, sophomore Sebastian Delgado is 5-0. Delgado earned a 7-5, 6-1 win over Ricardo Rojas of Arkansas-Little Rock last week.
Stetson is 16-4 overall and 1-1 in league play and has won seven straight contests. The Hatters face conference foe Jacksonville on the road on Tuesday afternoon.
All-time, UCF holds a 19-4 series edge with Stetson. Wednesday's match was originally scheduled for March 3, but was postponed due to inclement weather.
From April 14-17, Stetson will host the A-Sun Championship. UCF concludes its regular season slate on Thursday, at Jacksonville.
