Men's tennis completes unbeaten week by sweeping Butler

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Bellarmine University men's tennis team completed a perfect week after posting a 7-0 victory over Butler on Sunday at the Eddie Weber Tennis Complex that was preceded Friday by a 4-3 neutral-site win over Tennessee State at the Alabama Athletic Club in Huntsville.

Bellarmine (3-7) wrangled the doubles point against Butler (3-9) after freshman Louie Fletcher and sophomore Eli Wood defeated Patrick Joss and Rahulniket Konakanch 6-4 at No. 2, and junior Xavier Ecarma and senior Kyle Tang topped Arnesh Singh and Borja Miralles 6-2 at No. 3.

From Nos. 1-5, junior Jack Batchelor, sophomore Matthew Nice, Tang, sophomore Vineet Ramesh and Fletcher all won in straight sets while Wood completed the sweep at No. 6 by winning a super tiebreaker after splitting the first two sets.

Bellarmine's four points against Tennessee State came in singles action. Batchelor downed Jonasz Dziopak 6-4, 6-4 at No. 1, Ramesh bested Diego Britt-Alvarez 7-5, 7-5 at No. 3, Wood took down Nil Moinet 7-5, 5-7, 6-2 at No. 5 and Ecarma topped Christopher Bogelin 6-4, 6-3 at No. 6.

Tennessee State earned the doubles point, but Ecarma and Tang did win at No. 3.

Bellarmine will host Xavier at 3 p.m. (ET) Thursday.
