Men's tennis to take on cross-town foe Incarnate Word on Sunday

SAN ANTONIO – The UTSA men's tennis team will return to action on Sunday, as the Roadrunners welcome cross-town foe Incarnate Word to the UTSA Tennis Center. First serve is scheduled for 1 p.m.

UTSA (4-5) is coming off back-to-back wins at Prairie View A&M on Feb. 14. The Roadrunners won both matches by identical 4-0 scores.

Sophomore Kai Breitbach leads the Birds in singles play with a 6-2 record, while freshman Joao Ceolin is 5-4 after winning four consecutive matchups.

Meanwhile, Ceolin and Igor Cantanhede boast a perfect 3-0 mark in doubles competition.

The Cardinals (3-6) snapped a four-match losing streak last Saturday with a 6-1 triumph over Arkansas-Pine Bluff.

Francisco Bendana owns a team-best 6-3 record in singles action, while Bendana and Zachary VanderHeiden own a 3-0 ledger in doubles play.

The two teams also met last season with Incarnate Word registering a 6-1 victory over UTSA. The Cardinals won the doubles point and took five of six singles tilts on Jan. 28, 2017, at the Clarence Mabry Tennis Center.
