RADFORD, Va. – After dropping the doubles point, Radford won five of the six singles matches to rally past No. 61 North Florida, 5-2, in non-conference men's tennis action Monday morning at the RU Tennis Courts.

Winners of seven straight and 10 of their last 11, the Highlanders improved to 11-3 overall, while UNF fell to 7-5.

Radford's lone win in doubles came from its top duo of Ivan Salec (Oroslavje, Croatia / Oroslavje Secondary School) and Thomas Dehaen (Zwevegem, Belgium / Middenjury), who defeated Moritz Buerchner and Beauregard Treyz, 8-5.

After Salec's win by default at the top singles position tied the match, the Highlanders got three convincing straight-set wins from the bottom part of its lineup to clinch the dual.

Igor Ogrizek (Daruvar, Croatia / Birotechnika Grammar School), Stijn Meulemans (Belgium / KA2 sportschool Hasselt) and Dehaen dropped just six games combined on courts four through six.

Radford's Nick Sayer (Hong Kong, Hong Kong / Cams Hill School) also got back on track with a three-set (6-3, 4-6, 10-4) decision at the No. 2 spot.

The Highlanders' 3 p.m. match with Emory & Henry has been canceled to due to expected rain in the New River Valley.

Radford will enjoy a five-day break before resuming conference play Sunday with a 1 p.m. dual at UNC Asheville.
