The match was closed out by newcomers Segundo Goity Zapico and Jan Kusy, respectively. Gotiy Zapico won 6-0, 6-2, while Kusy clinched at 7-5, 6-2
Ricardo Gonzalez, FAU Director of Tennis
"I'm very proud of our boys for achieving their first team win of the season. Despite a challenging start to the season, they have remained confident and resilient. We have a young and motivated group, and I've never felt more optimistic about a team that has faced consecutive 4-3 losses. We will use today's victory to build confidence and momentum moving forward. Our boys are excited for more opportunities this weekend at home."
