WICHITA, Kan. - The University of Southern Indiana men's tennis team mounted a swift comeback at Newman University Tuesday afternoon, posting the team's second, third and match-clinching fourth point in rapid succession to conclude the action.

Sophomore Marvin Kromer, junior Yahor Bahdanovich and junior Spencer Blandford rallied USI to its victory at the Riverside Tennis Center. The trio all reached their match points nearly simultaneously, with Blandford's No. 4 action deciding the afternoon's competition.

The Screaming Eagles (5-3) opened play with their lone victory in doubles play featuring Bahdanovich and Kromer in the No. 1 slot scoring a 6-2 tally. Despite the pair's result, USI went on to cede the doubles point to the Jets (7-4).

Freshman Lucas Sakamaki knotted the team score at 1-1, opening singles play with a 6-1, 6-2 result from the fifth spot in the lineup, keeping the Eagles in range for their clutch combined performance.

Kromer brought USI to within one with his three-set score of 2-6, 7-5, 6-2, in No. 2 play immediately followed by Bahdanovich's 7-5, 6-4 result in the top singles spot. Blandford shut the door on Newman posting a 7-5 second-set score after going into a marathon first set, 7-6 (7-4).

USI Men's Tennis returns to Evansville Thursday to host NCAA I Austin Peay State University at the USI Tennis Courts. The Eagles and Governors are scheduled for a 3 p.m. start.
