NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Earning its second-straight 7-0 home sweep, the Belmont University men's tennis team defeated Alabama A&M Saturday evening at the Ensworth Tennis Center in Nashville. The Bruins (2-2) dropped only one set in the lopsided victory as Belmont clinched the doubles point with wins at the top two spots before cruising in singles play.
