MOBILE, Ala. - Grace's men's tennis continued its march through its first NCCAA National Championships.

The Lancers swept Oakland City 4-0 on Wednesday. The win secures Grace as the winner of its pool, setting up a showdown in the NCCAA national semifinals.

Grace will take on NCAA Div. II Dallas Baptist on Thursday at 11 a.m. (Eastern) in the semifinals. The winner will play either Campbellsville or Judson in the national championship on Friday at 11 a.m.

The Lancers won the doubles' point quickly to take an early edge. Facundo Paredes and Ivan Antinori won 6-1 at No. 3 doubles, and Max Rozas and Mauricio Corty secured a 6-2 win at No. 2.

Grace only needed three singles' points to secure the win, and the team found them in rapid succession.

Ramiro Candia was nearly flawless (6-1, 6-0) at No. 5 singles. Corty cruised to a 6-3, 6-0 victory at No. 6, and David Sandi polished off his opponent 6-1, 6-2 at No. 3.

The Lancers are in the midst of a two-week stint in Mobile, Ala. Grace will remain on site for next week's NAIA National Championships, competing for the first time as a full team since 1988.
