BUFFALO, NY – The University at Buffalo men's tennis team picked up right where they left off, defeating Western Michigan 6-1 at Miller Tennis Center on Friday afternoon in a rematch of last year's Mid-American Conference championship match.

The Bulls carried that momentum into singles action as Mainguy won 6-3, 6-2 win at second singles, Emiliano Jorquera rolled to a 6-2, 6-2 win at fifth singles and then Nasyam clinched the match for UB with a 6-3, 6-3 victory at six singles. Junior Onder Balci added to the UB lead with a 6-1, 7-6 win at third singles and Kim rounded out the scoring with a 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 win at fourth singles.
