DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The Embry-Riddle men's tennis team rode the momentum of a 2-1 advantage in doubles play to an 8-1 victory over 14th-ranked Olivet Nazarene (2-7), Saturday at the Crotty Tennis Complex. The Eagles will take a 9-2 overall record into their next contest, which takes place on their home courts at 3:30 p.m. on Monday against Midwestern State.

The Eagles easily won the matches at No. 2 and No. 3 doubles as Deni Zmak and Anthony Grasso defeated Camilo Giraldo and Peter Jensen 8-1, and Simon Felix and Kevin Chaouat blanked Josue Sanchez and Addison Newell 8-0.

The match-up at No. 1 doubles pitted fourth-ranked Julian Kurz and Diego Gonsalvez against ERAU's ninth-ranked pair of Chris Freeman and J.R. Leonik. The ERAU team held a one-point edge through much of the contest, but Kurz and Gonsalvez rallied for a 9-7 win to give the Tigers their only point of the day.

The Eagles got their third point at No. 1 singles when Zmak jumped out to a 5-1 lead before ninth-ranked Kurz retired with an injury. With the Eagles' nine courts being split between men's and women's tennis matches, Felix had to wait for Zmak's match to reach completion before taking the court. Despite the delay, the junior wasted little time notching his 13th win of the year, dispatching Sanchez 6-0, 6-0 at the fourth spot.

Ranked fifth in the ITA/NAIA national singles rankings, Freeman was the next to finish his match, scoring the clincher with a 6-3, 6-4 defeat of No. 42 Gonsalvez. Grasso held off a late Giraldo rally to win 6-2, 7-6 (7-4) at No. 4, and Miguel Lopez Gomez (6-2, 6-4) and David Spennare (6-0, 6-1) closed out the Eagles scoring with wins over Jensen and Newell, respectively.
