Park Forest, IL - The Eagles men's tennis team traveled to Park Forest Tennis club to play Olivet Nazarene University in their 4^th conference match. The contest was poised to be tight, and that it was.

This was quickly mitigated by Olivet with #2 Joshua Bavich and Julius Fortun suffering a 6-2 defeat, leaving the point in the hands of #3 pair Alexandre Veltkamp and Chadd Kerrigan. The Eagles #3 pair accepted this challenge with authority stamping out a 7-5 win to take the first point of the match leading into singles.

However, Olivet wrestled back some momentum early in the singles with #3 Joshua Bavich falling 6-2, 6-3. This set back however only furthered fired #1 Alexandre Veltkamp who convincingly sealed his match 6-2 6-4. Despite fighting back into his match #2 Chadd Kerrigan fell agonisingly short losing 5-7 6-2 4-6 leaving the match poised for a nail-biting finish.

With the Eagles needing one more point to secure the match, it was #4 Nicolas Donoso who delivered the fatal blow, grinding out a 7-5 6-7(5) 6-3 win securing the match for the Eagles. On other courts #5 Julius Fortun was level on sets at the time of clinch.

With the victory serving as the Eagles 3^rd successive victory, the Eagles Men's Tennis will shift their attention onto Saturday's contest with St. Francis looking to carry momentum into the CCAC Conference Tournament.
