LOUISVILLE, Ky.--The Bellarmine University men's tennis team shut out the visiting Centre College Colonels 9-0 in a dual tennis match played at the Bellarmine Sport, Recreation and Fitness Center.

"Senior Chip Jabaley did a great job subbing in at three doubles, picking up a point with captain Alan Gardiner," said Bellarmine Coach John Mican. "(Jabaley) also came through in singles with a hard fought win at number five."  

Zachary Kuo, Jimmy Fernandez, Logan Knott and Jose Lagarreta all won both their doubles and singles matches in convincing fashion while Nathan Walroth rounded out the scoring for the Knights with a solid win at six singles.  

"After two tough losses against quality opponents last week we had a good week of practice and the guys responded well to some line-up changes,"  Mican "We need to continue this strong play and finish out the indoor season with some momentum that we can build on through the conference matches."   

The Knights move to 2-2 on the season and will host Asbury in their next action scheduled for Feb. 21 at home.
