Chicago, Ill. - The UIC men's tennis team was unable to find a victory in Peoria on Saturday, as the Flames were downed, 6-1, by Bradley.

Nick Bodmer was the lone singles winner for the Flames defeating Paul Craigen in the second singles slot, 7-6, 5-7, 10-7.

In doubles action, Ken Howrey and John Cincola paired for a win at No.2 doubles beating Marijon Panzic and Mark Muskievicz, 8-4.

The Flames are back at it in the Lonestar State for spring break starting Saturday, March 15, with a match-up with St. Joseph's in Dallas. On Monday, the Flames take on UT-Tyler, followed by a Wednesday tilt with national power Southern Methodist.

The SMU match will feature a family affair, as UIC head coach Hans Neufeld clashes with his brother Carl, who is the head coach of the Mustangs.
