MIAMI SHORES, Fla.—The fourth-ranked Barry Buccaneers were scuttled 6-3 by the second-ranked Pirates of Armstrong Atlantic in men’s tennis action at Buccaneer Tennis Center on Friday.
The Bucs (15-6) started out strong, taking two of three doubles. Quentin Vachez and Marco Mokrzycki knocked off Pedro Scocuglia and Matus Mydla 8-5 at number two, while Sergio Velez and Ollie Lemaitre remained unbeaten with an 8-4 win over Eudaldo Bonet and Daniel Regan at number three.
At the top spot, the Bucs’ fourth-ranked pair Emanuel Fraitzl and Max Wimmer could not handle the nation’s top team Rafael Array and Mikk Irdoja, as the Pirates (20-0) claimed their only doubles point 8-3.
In singles, AASU proved too much for the Bucs winning five of six. Velez salvaged the only win for Barry, beating Regan in a super-set after splitting the first two. Regan won set one 6-4, but Velez rebounded to even the match with a 6-3 win, then prevailed in the super-set 11-9.
The Bucs close the regular season on Saturday, April 9 as they host the Hilltoppers of St. Edward’s University.
