COLUMBIA, Ky. -- No. 4-ranked Lindsey Wilson men's tennis picked up a win this morning but a late-afternoon consistent drizzle suspended the second match at Henry Baughman Tennis Complex.

The Blue Raiders (8-0) overpowered visiting No. 9-ranked Cardinal Stritch (Wis.) 5-1 in the morning match. Today's second match with No. 13 William Carey (Miss.) was halted after a light rain hit Columbia with the match tied at 3-3. Efforts to resume the match failed and the match is officially suspended until Saturday.​

The Blue Raiders claimed two of the three doubles points and won all three completed singles matches to take the team match over the Wolves.

Denis Porcic and Camilo Erazo stayed unbeaten this season in doubles play with an 8-2 win over Danilo Pejovic and Agustin Gascia in the top-seeded match. Porcic and Erazo are now 7-0 as a tandem this season.

Nicola Wehrle and Niccolo Rossi picked up what proved to be the lone point of the day for Cardinal Stritch with a 9-7 win over Edberg Espinoza and Steven Espinoza in the third-seeded doubles match.

The doubles finale went the distance as Ivan Solans Diaz and Javier Raya upset Fabio Perasso and Nicolas Palacio -- ranked No. 2 in the NAIA in doubles -- 9-8 to give the Blue Raiders the 2-1 advantage. The Blue Raider pair dominated the tiebreaker to the tune of a 7-2 win to take the second-seeded doubles match. Diaz and Raya are also undefeated this season, sporting a 6-0 record.

Raya added to the Lindsey Wilson lead with a straight-sets win over Wehrle in the fifth-seeded singles match. He won 6-2, 6-2 to push the Blue Raider advantage to 3-1.

Edberg Espinoza -- ranked No. 23 in the NAIA in singles -- quickly followed with a singles win of his own to give Lindsey Wilson a 4-1 lead. He dismissed Palacio 6-1, 6-1 in the No. 4 singles match to improve to 6-1 on the season in singles play.

Porcic claimed the decisive point in a top-five battle with Gascia. No. 3 Porcic defeated fifth-ranked Gascia 6-3, 6-4 to give the Blue Raiders the 5-1 win.

The rest of the matches were halted with Lindsey Wilson up a set in two matches and Cardinal Stritch up a set in the final match.

Lindsey Wilson vs. William Carey

William Carey (7-3) took a 2-1 lead after doubles play only to have Lindsey Wilson win two of the first three singles matches to tie the team match at 3-3.

The fourth, fifth and sixth singles matches were in the first set when the rains began. After more than an hour delay, the courts were deemed too wet to resume.

In an effort to complete the match tonight, the two teams traveled to Campbellsville's (Ky.) courts. But during the warm-ups, the rain hit Campbellsville making the courts unplayable forcing the suspension of play.

The two teams will try once again to complete the match on Saturday. First serve will be determined Saturday morning.
