DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - The Embry-Riddle Eagles men's tennis team broke Eastern Kentucky's five game winning streak by handing the Colonels a 7-0 loss at the Ambassador William E. Crotty Tennis Complex on Wednesday.

The Eagles took the doubles point, winning all three matches, playing under NCAA DI rules. The combo of Mislav Hizak and Konstantin Lazarov took the first singles match against Lars Gratzki and Johannes John, 8-4, increasing their winning streak to eight consecutive matches.

Carlos Bes Comeras and Tomoaki Yasuda were also paired up for the first time this season winning 8-5 over Mel Segota and Vadim Ivanis.

Hizak led the attack in singles with a 6-1, 6-0 win over Gratzki. It was Hizak's fifth win in the No. 1 slot for team in 2008. At No. 2 was Lazarov who finished Segota in a quick 6-2, 6-1 match. Bes Comeras, playing as the Eagles No. 3 single, won 6-3, 6-2 over John.
