AUBURN, Ala. - Strong all-around play propelled 45th-ranked Auburn to a 4-0 morning win and a 4-0 afternoon win over Jacksonville State on Thursday at the Yarbrough Tennis Center.
Auburn moves to 14-7 on the season while Jacksonville State improves to 5-9.
"SEC play tends to beat you down so from that standpoint these matches were good," Auburn head coach Eric Shore said. "Overall, it was a good day and we have to build on it. It's crunch time"
Auburn started the morning by winning the doubles point after a 6-3 win on court one from Lukas Ollert and Marko Krickovic over Jeff Wendler-Filho and Pedro Wagner. Oliver Plaskett and Petar Tomic clinched the doubles point for Auburn with a 6-4 win over Felipe Diaz and Jaryd Reese on court two.

Auburn continued its strong play in the afternoon, again taking the doubles point. Maxime Hinnisdaels and Joseph Van Dooren took their match 6-3 over Gabriel Pastera and Mathias Chaim on court three followed by a 6-4 win by Lukas Ollert and Marko Krickovic over Jeff Wendler-Filho and Pedro Wagner on court two.
