DELAND, Fla. – Florida Atlantic University men's tennis had a long day, but made it count with two road victories. The Owls defeated Mercer 6-0 in the morning match and then downed the day's host Stetson 4-1.
The match versus Mercer saw the two teams elect to play singles first with FAU capturing each court. The Owls returned to the court to play a clinch format versus the Hatters. Following doubles play, which saw the Owls use new combinations, FAU needed just three points to clinch. They gathered those points on courts one, four and five.
