JOLIET, Ill. -- The Michigan Tech men's tennis team gained a sweep of host Lewis, 9-0, today in an indoor match at the Five Season Racket Club. The Huskies won the match in convincing fashion as the Flyers won just one set on the evening.

Tech opened the match with wins at all three doubles positions. The number one doubles duo of Brett Girard and Rick Halverson claimed an 8-2 pro-set victory. Justin Foley and Rajiv Nanjandareddy matched that score with a number three doubles triumph. Yassine Borkadi and Chris Calder were 8-3 winners at number two doubles.

In singles, Girard was the lone Husky to go three sets. The freshman stormed back after losing the first set in his number one flight match vs. Enrique Escalante to claim a 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 decision.

The only other close match was at number six, where Alan Parenteau knocked off his opponent with back-to-back set scores of 7-5.

Michigan Tech (2-7) will be off until next Saturday (Mar. 25), when it opens Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference play at Ferris State.
