ORLANDO, Fla. -- The No. 4-ranked Wayne State University men's tennis team (8-1 overall) posted a 5-2 triumph over St. Thomas Aquinas College (6-1 overall) in the squad's first match over Spring Break.

The Warriors have won their seventh-straight game, while handing the Spartans their first setback of the season.

Earlier today, the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) released its newest rankings, with the Warriors checking in as the No. 4-ranked team in the nation.  It marks the highest ranking that the men's tennis program has been ranked on the ITA Poll.
