Just under 24 hours after defeating Warner, No. 1 Keiser men's tennis was back in central Florida taking down No. 6 Southeastern on the road, 4-3.
- No. 21 El Mesbahi was the first off the courts on Saturday with a 6-3, 6-0 win over Martinez.
- No. 9 Cantero followed shortly after with a 6-2, 6-0Â win over De Oliveira on court three.
- Keiser clinched the match on court five with No. 16 Carrizo winning 6-2, 6-1.
- From there, SEU rallied to take the remaining three courts with courts one and two going to third-set tiebreakers.
"Pretty disgusted with how we played today," said Head Coach,Â
Daniel Finn, "We played like we just expected it to be handed to us. I was pleased with how we started and raced to the 4-1 clinch. However, the way we reacted after the match was clinched, letting the other two points get away from us, was just unacceptable. We have to compete harder throughout the match no matter the score. We won today because in the end we were the better team and that's how the four points came to be but the lackadaisical attitude and effort after we gained control of the match was unacceptable and the boys know it. Glad to get a road win in a rough and chaotic environment after the long day yesterday, but still, it's time to get back to work and make sure we are ready to go this week. Nothing is going to get easier for us this season."
With another NAIA match out of the way, Keiser will be back to their Division II opponents with DII, No. 4 West Alabama making the trip to Boca Raton, Fla. on Wednesday, March 29.
