JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn. – The Carson-Newman men's tennis team will try to break a five-match losing streak to Lincoln Memorial on Monday afternoon.

Stefano Daza (Venezuela) has played in a variety of spots for the Eagles, but has acquired a 4-5 record on the year.

The tandem of Daza and Rodolfo Schwarz (Brazil) are still trying to crack the scoreboard at No.1 doubles. The duo has begun the season 0-6 and will look to end that streak on Monday afternoon. The most consistent duo for the Eagles at No.3 doubles is Marc Bantel (German) and Jesus Bacete-Sanz (Spain) who have compiled a 3-2 record on the season.
