GRAND FORKS, N.D. -- The University of North Dakota men's tennis team rolled to a 7-0 win over Bellarmine in the first of two matches against the Knights on Friday night from Choice Health and Fitness in Grand Forks, N.D.

The middle duo of Ethan Terry and Jerall Yasin followed suit with a 6-3 victory of their own to claim all three matches in two-man play. 

Hayduke II kept the momentum rolling into singles play, notching back-to-back 6-0 scores on the No. 4 court to complete his day without dropping a game and extend the lead to 2-0. Koua recorded the third point of the night for the green and white with a 6-4, 6-2 win from the second spot before Jayho Hong provided the clinch with another 6-4, 6-2 triumph from the No. 6 position. 

Galliano and UND didn't stop despite clinching the match, as the rookie pushed the lead to 5-0 with a 6-2, 6-4 win on the No. 3 court and Zgraggen notching a pair of 7-5 scores from the top spot to make it 6-0.
