Box Score LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Bellarmine men's tennis rebounds with 6-1 victory over Centre College on Saturday afternoon at the Eddie Weber Tennis Complex.

With the win, the Knights (2-9, 0-2 ASUN) snapped a five-match losing streak on Saturday while collecting their second home victory of the year.

Starting in doubles, Bellarmine secured the team point thanks to wins in flights one and two. Senior Eli Wood and freshman Ryan Parkins got the day started with a 6-0 victory in flight one, followed by a 6-3 win from senior Matthew Nice and freshman Colby Berson in flight two.

In singles, the Knights kept the momentum going as Bellarmine swept the first five courts. Nice got his second win of the day on court win, defeating his opponent 6-2, 6-2. Wood had a bit more work on his hands on court two, but managed with a 6-7, 6-3, 6-0 victory for his second of the day. Parkins made quick work of his match, winning for the second time 6-2, 6-3.

Senior Zak Vince got in on the action on court four, taking down his opponent 7-6, 6-3 before Berson closed out the run with a 6-1, 6-4 win on court five.

Centre notched its lone point of the day on court six due to a default by Bellarmine as the Knights are shorthanded with injuries.

Up next, Bellarmine will host Campbellsville University (Ky.) and IU Indy for a doubleheader on March 17 at the Eddie Weber Tennis Complex.
