JACKSONVILLE, Ala. – The EKU men's team rallied to a 6-1 win over Jacksonville State University on Friday at the JSU Tennis Complex.

With the win, the Colonels improve their record to 15-10 overall and 4-1 in Ohio Valley Conference play.
 
EKU fell behind after losing the doubles point, but were seemingly unfazed as the Colonels took each of the singles matches.
 
"The guys did a great job of staying level-headed today," Head Coach Rob Oertel said. "They showed a lot of composure coming from behind in that atmosphere."
 
Singles wins from Alex Álvaro, Diogo Soares and Ramon van Flymen put the Colonels in front 3-1. Freshman Guillem Sanchis' 7-6, 6-4 win over JSU's Mathias Chaim clinched the win for EKU.
 
Sebastian Mueller and Florian Graskamp added wins at the No. 4 and No. 6 spot respectively to give the Colonels their third straight win.
 
EKU will take on Tennessee Tech on Saturday in an OVC dual match. Saturday's match is scheduled for 1 p.m.
