Little Rock, Ark. - The No. 59 Nebraska men's tennis team finished the weekend with a 4-3 win over Arkansas- Little Rock, Sunday morning, at the Burns Park Tennis Complex in Little Rock, Ark.
It was the second win of the weekend in Little Rock, Ark., for the Huskers, after defeating Belmont on Saturday, 5-2, as Nebraska improves to 7-2 on the season.
The Huskers took the doubles point with wins at the No. 1 and 3 spots. Senior Jerry Posch and sophomore Mark Tate defeated Eduardo Autran and Edson Aubrao, 9-7, at the top slot while juniors James Clow and Arturo Navarro beat German Perez and Rain Roigas, 8-5, in the bottom of the rotation.
Posch started the Huskers with a win in singles action, defeating Autran in the No. 1 spot, 6-2, 6-3. At the No. 5 spot, Tate remained undefeated in seven singles matches this spring after beating Perez, 7-5, 6-0. Senior Joerg Barthel sealed the win for Nebraska at the No. 6 slot, defeating Juan Carlos Nunez, 7-5, 7-5.
"It was good to come away with two wins this weekend," Coach Kerry McDermott said. "We knew Arkansas- Little Rock would be competitive because they are in our region and they have a good squad. Our guys have done really well this season in close matches and they are finding ways to win and showing lots of confidence. I'm really proud of them for never giving up, but we have to keep improving."
The Huskers return to action March 2-4, when they travel to Corpus Christi, Texas, for the HEB Tournament.
