WINONA LAKE, Ind. - Grace's men's tennis team continued its dominance of the Crossroads League with a 5-0 victory over St. Francis on Tuesday. The match was delayed briefly by rain as the teams headed indoors to finish the contest.
Grace dropped just two games in doubles action, getting the sweep and the first point of the day. The first two went 6-0, 6-0 to help the team clinch the point and the final one went 6-2.Â

Artur Pons chipped in his point, going 6-3, 6-1 to put the team one point away from the win.
