Box Score Lexington, Ky. -- The University of Dayton men's tennis team traveled to Lexington, Ky. on Friday morning for a match against nationally-ranked Kentucky as a final tune-up before the Atlantic 10 Championships later this month. The Flyers will take a 15-7 record into the conference tournament and Kentucky now has a 14-12 record with the win.

After Langford Hills and Joe DeMarco lost a hard-fought match at No. 1 doubles, Jordan Benjamin and Jayman Jhattu evened things up with a 6-3 win at No.3 before Kentucky took the opening point at No. 2 with a 6-3 clincher.
