Detroit, MI – Toledo recorded its sixth-straight victory on Wednesday evening in the form of a 5-2 win over Detroit Mercy. The Rockets improve to 8-5 on the season, while UDM falls to 3-6.

"Again, we had a good focus and energy in our doubles play," said Head Coach Al Wermer. "In singles, we got on top early and then kept the consistent pressure on the competition."

Toledo came from behind to claim the doubles point. Detroit's No. 2 pair defeated the Rockets, 6-3, to start off the match, but UT sophomores Vince Anzalone and Serjen Olmedo answered back with a 6-4 win at the No. 3 spot. Senior Stjepan Sisko and freshman Thawin Suksathaporn clinched the doubles point for the Rockets with a 7-6 victory at the top of the lineup.

UT continued its momentum into the singles competition. The Rockets claimed four singles matches, all in the form of straight-set victories.

Toledo will travel to Louisville, KY this Saturday to battle the Cardinals at 10:00 a.m.
