SAN ANTONIO – The 10th-ranked ACU Wildcats swept all three doubles matches and then took four of singles matches to knock off Incarnate Word, 7-2, in a Lone Star Conference men's tennis match at the Mabry Tennis Courts.

The win pushes the Wildcats to 9-5 overall, while Incarnate Word falls to 4-4. ACU is back in action Sunday in Austin against St. Edward's before heading to Las Vegas for the Las Vegas Invitational during Spring Break.
