BOCA RATON, Fla. - The Florida Atlantic men's tennis team (8-3) will return home for the first time since Feb. 3 to play host to fellow American Athletic Conference member UTSA on Sunday, Feb. 25 at 11 a.m. The Owls were 2-1 on their latest road swing with last weekend's matches at USF being canceled due to weather.
Florida Atlantic, which is ranked No. 41 in the latest ITA poll, holds the all-time record versus UTSA at 4-2. However, the Roadrunners have won the last two meetings, including a 4-3 decision in the C-USA semifinals last April.

John Bernard is 6-1 in dual match competition and has split time between courts five and six.
