The No. 34 University of Redlands men's tennis team captured a 6-3 win over Southwestern University (TX) in Monday's afternoon match on Verdieck Courts.  After sweeping the doubles, the Bulldogs relied on their depth to secure three of the singles points with wins at Nos. 4, 5, and 6.

In singles, Redlands stretched its lead to 4-0 when Libao secured a 6-1, 6-2 win at No. 5. 

However, the Pirates cut the gap in half by winning at Nos. 3 and 1.

Nonetheless, Reznik responded with a 6-4, 6-4 triumph at No. 4 to put this one in the books for the Bulldogs.
