BOCA RATON, FL (April 10, 2010) -- The Florida Atlantic University men's tennis team closed out the regular season on a positive note, scoring a decisive 7-0 victory over Florida rival Bethune Cookman University on Saturday afternoon at the Evert Tennis Academy in Boca Raton.

The win improved the Owls to 12-8 on the season and halted a two-match losing streak. FAU will now prepare for the Sun Belt Conference Championships on April 22-24 in New Orleans.

"It was a good team victory," said Harradine. "We could have taken them lightly, but we stayed focused and played a solid overall match."

Junior Marc Abdelnour cruised to a 6-2, 6-1 victory at No. 1 singles. The win tied him for team-high honors with freshman Matthew Braunworth at 13 singles victories.
