NASHVILLE, Tenn. - - Belmont University men's tennis earned a 7-0 sweep over Dayton Saturday from Ensworth Tennis Center.
The Bruins quickly earned the doubles' points, as the pairings of senior Hendrik Inno (Someru, Estonia) and junior Marko Ilic (Zagreb, Croatia) and freshman Arthur Toledo (Greenacres, Florida) and junior Grant Kelly (Atlanta, Ga.) steamrolled to 6-1 wins.
Belmont carried momentum as Ilic and senior Felix Rauch (Osterode, Germany) continued their high-level play, making quick work of Dayton's formidable offerings at first and second singles.
