INDIANAPOLIS – The University of Akron tennis team topped IUPUI 7-0 at the Indianapolis Tennis Center and then defeated Butler 5-2 at the Butler Bubble on Saturday. The victories improved the Zips' dual record to 3-2 this season, while the afternoon decision versus the Bulldogs gave UA coach Jeffrey Wyshner his 200th career victory.

Gombera winning 8-4 at the No. 1 spot, and Jeremie
Benjamin and Lindsey Berry tallying an 8-0 victory at No. 2.

claimed all six points in straight sets and allowed the Jaguars to
win just three games.
