The UIS men's tennis team earned a 4-3 road victory at Thomas More on Friday evening. The Prairie Stars missed the doubles point but rallied in singles to capture the overall match.

Thomas More claimed the doubles point, winning No. 1 7-6 (Pablo Herrera/Lin En Tan) and No. 3 6-4 (Antonio Streubel/Lukas Pieringer). UIS' Luke Pennington and Miran Todorovic earned a 7-5 win in the No. 2 spot.

UIS won four singles matches to clinch the overall victory. Pablo Herrera won 6-3, 6-0, Lin En Tan won 6-2, 6-3, Luke Pennington remained undefeated with a 6-4, 6-4 win, and Miran Todorovic added a 6-3, 6-4 victory. Lukas Pieringer lost a close match 7-6, 2-6, 1-0, and Kai Van Roon retired his match.

"Our team showed a lot of resilience today after battling in doubles and coming up short," said head coach Henrique Leal. "It took a lot of character to bounce back in singles, and I'm really proud of how we competed as a team. The environment we created, with everyone supporting one another, was special, and it made a huge difference in helping us come home with the win."
