TOLEDO, Ohio – Toledo men's tennis continued its hot streak, winning its fourth-straight match in a 5-2 victory over IUPUI at Shadow Valley Tennis Club Friday afternoon.

The Rockets started the day on a high note, winning the doubles point from victories on the No.1 court by Marko Galic and Pawit Sornlaksup and No. 3 court by Luka Jankovic and Adam Kovac. Cole Shoults and Krzysztof Wetoszka were down 5-2 on the No.2 court before the match was ruled unfinished.

"We're developing into a pretty solid and tough team!" head coach Al Wermer said. "We have a lot of very reliable players in positions to win - yet we don't have to rely on the same guy each day."
