Box Score 1 Leavenworth, Kan.— The Spires opened doubles play and never gave Avila a path back, rolling to a 7-0 victory Monday in a complete home sweep. The Spires won all three doubles flights before taking all six singles matches to finish the KCAC contest with a perfect line across the board.

The doubles points would set the tone. Korbin Priestley and Evan Maritz earned a 6-4 win at No. 1 doubles over Scott and Lozano. Carlos Grimaldi and Nils Dueppe followed with a 6-2 decision at No. 2 doubles against Houchin and Carrillo with the Eagles, and Mateo Dargel Argote and Ryan Langdon closed out the sweep with a 6-1 win at No. 3 over Drinkwater and Honn.

USM carried that momentum straight into singles, where the Spires were just as sharp. Dueppe delivered one of the day's toughest wins at No. 1 singles, beating Scott in a match recorded at 7-6, 7-6, 6-3. Maritz won at No. 2 singles against Lozano, with the result recorded as 6-1, 7-6(7-2), 7-2, while Priestley added another point at No. 3 with a victory over Houchin listed at 7-6, 7-3, 6-2.

The lineup from top to bottom helped complete the shutout. Nudem Koyuncu won 6-1, 6-3 over Carrillo at No. 4 singles, Santiago Garcia took a 6-3, 6-4 decision over Honn at No. 5, and Leyton Ross finished with a 6-3, 6-3 win against Drinkwater at No. 6. Team totals reflected the dominance.

Several Spires turned in two-win days. Priestley and Maritz each contributed in doubles and singles, and Dueppe did the same with his doubles win alongside Grimaldi and his No. 1 singles result. Garcia and Ross helped keep the sweep intact from the back half of the singles ladder, giving Saint Mary straight victories across every flight played.

The Spire women took the forfeit victory over the Eagles women's tennis squad, taking the FF victory 7-0.

USM will be back in action again this Thursday, April 9th as they travel to Springfield, Missouri to take on the Valor of Evangel University with matches set for 11:00 a.m.
