"Hanover was the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference champ in the fall, and Coach Larue had his team ready to play," Knights Coach
John Mican said. "After winning the doubles point, we were much more relaxed going into singles. We've only got GLVC teams remaining on our schedule. It was nice to get the 'W' today, but we've got a lot of work ahead of us."
Bellarmine will play at 2 p.m. (ET) Wednesday at Missouri-St. Louis.
