SURPRISE, Ariz. – The No. 12 UIndy men's tennis team kept its season rolling on Thursday afternoon with a win over No. 35 Washburn in the quarterfinal round at the NCAA Championships. The Greyhounds romped the Ichabods, 5-1, at the Surprise Tennis and Racquet Center.
 
The Hounds cruised through doubles, earning all three points after sweeping the Ichabods. Nils Hoffacker and Dario Huber were the first to finish, defeating their No. 3 counterparts by a final of 8-4. Andrea Morlet and Renato Lima got back on the winning track, earning an 8-6 triumph over the seventh-ranked duo from Washburn.
 
The German tandem of Magnus Mueller and Christoph Drechsler also rolled at No. 2 doubles, winning 8-5 over Tommy Hunter and Raul-ALin Dicu.
 
Needing only two wins at singles, Lima won 6-4, 6-4 in straight sets to get the Greyhounds within reach. Drechsler, who sealed the victory yesterday, was victorious once again in the No. 5 spot to clinch the 5-1 win for UIndy.
 
Hoffacker was leading 5-4 in the second set after winning the first frame, but remains one win short of breaking the program record for singles victories in a season.
 
The Greyhounds will battle No. 1 Barry tomorrow afternoon in a national semifinal. UIndy made history yesterday, winning its first-round matchup over Hawai'i at Hilo, and will look to keep it going tomorrow at 12 p.m. in Surprise.
