OMAHA, Neb. -- The Creighton men's tennis team evened its season record at 6-6 with a dominating 7-0 victory against Augustana on Saturday afternoon at the Koch Family Tennis Center.

Matthew Lanahan and Jose Oscar Diaz combined for a 6-2 victory at No. 2 doubles for the pair's team-leading ninth doubles win of the season. Stratton Brown and Joe Hoff earned a 6-3 win at the top position, while Mac Mease and Armando Gandini won 6-4 at No. 3.

Hoff's 6-3, 6-1 win at No. 5 singles clinched the overall dual. The senior improved to a team-best 7-4 in singles play. Brown and Gandini each claimed their sixth singles win of the year, Lanahan and Diaz each won for the fifth time in singles this season and Mease won his fourth of the year.
