ST. LOUIS – UIndy men's tennis took another step toward its Great Lakes Valley Conference title defense Sunday, defeating Rockhurst 5-0 in the semifinals on the outdoor courts at the Dwight Davis Tennis Center.

After bringing home the championship a season ago – the program's eighth – the 16th-ranked Greyhounds (14-4) remained unblemished in the 2017 tournament by blanking the Hawks (13-7).

They began by crippling the Hawks in doubles, taking an almost insurmountable 3-0 lead after winning all three by 8-4 scores.

Senior Arklon Huertas del Pino and junior Andrea Morlet defeated Oskar Unger and Jonas Stropus in a regionally-ranked battle at No. 1, winning their 20th match as a pair this season.

Junior Christoph Drechsler and sophomore Magnus Mueller followed by dropping Daniel Chmielewski and Decho Valev at No. 2, improving to 12-5 as a tandem.

The No. 3 duo of senior Marco Razo and junior Nils Hoffacker won their team-best eighth in a row, toppling Joe Ibarra and Nicolas Riveros to put the Hounds in control.

Needing only two singles victories, the Hounds soon clinched their GLVC Championship berth.

Mueller bested Valev again, this time in No. 4 singles, by a 6-1, 6-2 score. The win moved Mueller to 14-5 overall this season and 11-4 in dual matches.

Razo capped off the sweep with a lopsided 6-1, 6-1 decision over Ibarra at No. 6 singles, remaining undefeated this season at the position.

UIndy will face No. 17 Drury in Monday's title match at 1 p.m. ET, aiming to win a GLVC-best ninth championship. The Panthers defeated Lewis 5-1 in their semifinal match Sunday, and have beaten UIndy in the GLVC Championship twice before (2014 and 2015), including once at the Dwight Davis Tennis Center (2014).
