DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Host Embry-Riddle swept all nine matches played Wednesday to earn a 7-0 victory over the Eastern Kentucky University men’s tennis team. With the loss, Eastern falls to 9-7 overall.

“We lost to a very good Embry-Riddle team today,” EKU head coach Rob Oertel said. “They are ranked among the top three teams nationally in NAIA. Overall, I thought this was a successful spring break trip for the men.”
