LA JOLLA, Calif. -- On their second leg of their three day So Cal swing, the USF Dons men's tennis team had a great afternoon on the court against the UC San Diego Tritons, coming away with the 6-1 victory away from home.

The Dons got the afternoon off to a stellar start winning two of three doubles matches, while leading in the third before it was called due to time considerations. Building off that early success, USF carried that momentum into doubles play where they won five of the six matches to secure their six points and the victory on Saturday.

Doubles:
1. (USF) Nitzan Ricklis/Phuc Huynh def. (UCSD) Traxler/Cole (6-4)
2. (USF) Stevie Gould/Mitch Johnson vs. (UCSD) Lan/Len (5-4, DNF)
