Final Results

Lourdes University's number one doubles team of Ulises Barradas (Nueva Esparta, Venezuela/UE Colegio Madre Guadalupe) and Victor Dieltiens (Altea, Spain/Sint Eduardus [Belgium]) recorded their second straight victory on Friday afternoon but the Gray Wolves dropped an 8-1 match to Adrian inside the Merillat Fieldhouse in Adrian, Mich.
 
Barradas and Dieltiens were 8-5 winners over the Bulldogs' top team of Ryan Cuddy and Brandon Folk.

"The men are doing quite well," commented head coach Epifani Jones after the match. "Although today's match was a loss, there was inspired play across the board. I am certain that in a short amount of time, you could look back to this moment as the turning point for the season as well as for the program."
