HOW IT HAPPENED

  • Lynn picked up the first match of doubles play when the No. 42 pair of Lucca Baptista and Diego Gonzalez won second doubles 6-3. However, the Eagles would pick up wins in the remaining matches to secure the doubles point.
  • In singles, Gonzalez fell in straight sets to national No. 6 Juan Ortiz Couder which gave Embry-Riddle their second point of the match.
  • Ignacio Martinez, the hero of yesterday's victory over Saint Leo, was unable to keep the momentum going, as he lost third singles in straight sets.
  • The Eagles sealed the match with a straight-set victory over Gianmarco Amatiste in fourth singles.
  • The remaining matches were not completed.

UP NEXT
The result will end the season for the SSC regular-season champs. The team will be back in action in the Fall.
