COLUMBIA, Ky. -- Giving up just one point on the day at No. 1 doubles, the 13th ranked Lindsey Wilson College men's tennis team posted a near sweep of Western Kentucky with an 8-1 win on Saturday at the Henry Baughman Tennis Complex.

The Blue Raiders swept the singles points, winning every match in straight sets.

Craig Kirchgessner and Lance Freeman helped the Hilltoppers score their only point of the day, topping Fernando Bogajo and Pablo Vilches 8-5, while Lindsey Wilson took care of business at the other two doubles spots.

Fabricio Morales and Gilles Cornelis won at No. 2, 8-2 against J.T. Closi and Kaleb Ball, while Victor Saez and Marlon Dal Pont beat Bobby Whitmer and Arul Selvan 8-3 at No. 3.

Bogajo cruised at the top seed, topping Closi 6-3, 6-2, while Morales won 6-4, 7-5 over Kirchgessner at No. 2 in the closest singles contest of the day along with Cornelis' 7-5, 6-4 win against Whitmer at the No. 5 spot.

Dal Pont rounded out the Blue Raiders win at No. 6 with a 6-0, 6-1 win over Ball.

"We really needed this win today" said Blue Raiders head coach Daniel Finn. "I can't tell you that we played our best tennis, but I know the guys were really tired from the long week before and you can really see the improvement. We still have some things I am wanting to work on, but we are getting close."

Lindsey Wilson is back in action at Noon CT on Feb. 21 at Asbury (Ky.) in Wilmore, Ky.
