BABSON PARK, Fla. – The fourth-ranked Embry-Riddle men's tennis team completed a successful road trip on Wednesday, earning a pair of conference wins to improve to 13-3 on the year. The Eagles downed 18th-ranked Webber International 8-1 in the first game of the day and followed with a 9-0 defeat of Warner to solidify their hold on first place in The Sun Conference standings with a 4-0 league mark.

The Eagles easily swept through the doubles matches at No. 1 and No. 3, but the Webber International duo of Rafael Texeira and Tyler Heath put up a tough fight at No.2. In the end, Charlie Rice and Zander Woodford-Smith, playing their fifth doubles match together this season, managed to pull out a 9-8 (9-7) win to complete the Eagles' doubles sweep.

Shortly after Alexis Huegas' 6-1, 6-1 win over Phillipe Andermatt at No. 2 singles, Jan Hoekzema clinched the team victory with a 6-0, 6-1 decision against Texiera. The Warriors managed to avoid the shutout when Juuso Tapaneinen pulled out a three-setter over Francis at No. 3, but the Eagles closed out the match with three wins in the bottom half of the line-up that included an 8-1 win by Adrian Bayh who made his return to competitive tennis following a pre-season injury.

The Eagles' second match of the day saw Head Coach David Paschal make some adjustments to his line-up. After playing together for the majority of the 2009 campaign, Rice and Bayh teamed up for the first time this season to notch an 8-3 win at No. 2 doubles against Akharis Sa-ardphandrai and Diego Barros. Luke Maricic and Woodford Smith also played in tandem for the first time in 2010 and topped Guillerme Ferreire and Tiago Olivera 8-2 at No. 2.

Spennare and de la Bastide closed out the match with wins in their respective singles contests, playing the eight-game pro set format. Spennare defeated DelCastillo 8-3 and de la Bastide downed Sokol 8-2.
