BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (UCFAthletics.com) - Playing outside of Florida for the first time this spring, the UCF men's tennis team did not enjoy much success Friday as the Knights fell 7-0 to No. 45 Indiana at the IU Tennis Complex. The match was played at Indiana's indoor facility.
The Hoosiers, who improved to 8-2 with the win, began the contest by taking all three doubles matches to claim the first point. UCF's (2-2) best performance in doubles came at No. 2, where junior Eugene Dolgovykh (Palm Coast, Fla.) and freshman Erik Brunskog (Linkoping, Sweden) were defeated by Josh MacTaggart and Stephen Vogl, 8-5.
Indiana picked up wins at all six singles positions. At No. 1, Jeremy Langer topped senior Blaze Schwartz (Pensacola, Fla.), 6-1, 7-6. Facing Isade Juneau at No. 5, junior Joe Delinks (Falmouth, Mass.) came up just short, falling 7-6, 3-6, 6-2.
UCF will return to action Saturday at 6 p.m. against Drake in Bloomington.
