MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis defeated the visiting Bellarmine University men's tennis team 7-0 on Sunday.

At No. 2 doubles, freshman Paul Reynolds and senior Ian Deiters pushed Jan Pallares and Patrick Sydow to a tiebreaker for Bellarmine (0-2). The Knights lost in straight sets in their six singles matches. Sophomore Cole Groetsch, at No. 1, and junior Evan Bottorff, at No. 3, each won four games in one set.

"The team had a very positive weekend," Coach Will Davis said. "Obviously, we didn't come out with the W, but we learned and grew from these experiences. This weekend has helped us learn and see our strengths and weaknesses. Playing against these tough opponents now will help us later in the season."

Bellarmine will play two matches Saturday at the University of Louisville.
