With the loss, the Flyers drop to 9-3 (2-1 GLVC) while the Screaming Eagles improve to 11-5 (4-1 GLVC). 

Lewis redshirt junior Uno Lapimaa (Tallinn, Estonia/Audentese) defeated Diego Gimenez, 7-6, 6-2 at No. 1 singles and sophomore Jesse Hardacre (Racine, Wis./St. Catherine's) won by default at No. 4 singles over Ben Boesing due to an injury.

“We were not able to get the job done in doubles and that really put us in a deep hole,” Lewis head men's tennis coach Brett Bridel said. “USI outplayed us and deserved the victory.”

The Flyers return to action on Tuesday (Apr. 12), hosting St. Francis (Ill.) at 1 PM.
