SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- Back on the court for the first time in February, the USF Dons men's tennis team traveled south to San Diego for an afternoon matchup with the Point Loma Sea Lions. USF took little time getting comfortable in So Cal as they defeated the hometown Sea Lions 6-1 on Friday.

The Dons dropped the initial doubles point, but more than made up for it by winning all six singles matches to secure the victory on the road. Competing in his first match at the collegaite level, Nikola Kuraica won his singles match to help USF secure a key point in the victory.
