TOLEDO, OH – Toledo closed out its weekend undefeated thanks to a 5-2 victory over Wayne State on Saturday afternoon. The Rockets improve to 5-5 on the season.

"We had a nice pep in our step starting with our doubles competition," said head coach Al Wermer. "Our singles effort was good but we had some spotty results. We had a good win but there is still room to improve."

Toledo continued its dominance in the doubles competition. Juniors Omar Espinosa and Stephen Miller recorded their fifth-straight victory at No. 2 doubles, while the sophomore duo of Juan Carranza and Reid Teatsorth saw their third win of the weekend at No. 3.

Senior Stjepan Sisko extended his winning streak to eight matches with a three-set triumph (6-3, 2-6, 6-4) at the No. 1 spot.

Espinosa, freshmen Serjen Olmedo and freshman Reid Teatsorth each won their second-consecutive match of the weekend. Espinosa and Olmedo claimed straight-set wins at No. 2 and No. 3, respectively. Teatsorth battled through three (6-4, 4-6, 6-0) to down his opponent at fourth singles.

Toledo will travel to Youngstown State next Friday, Feb. 17 for a 12:30 p.m. match against the Penguins before returning home to host Illinois State on Sunday, Feb. 19 at 11:00 a.m.
