DENVER - The No. 59 University of Denver men's tennis team cruised to a 4-0 win over Idaho in action late Friday night at Meadow Creek Tennis Club. Denver improves to 8-1 with its fifth consecutive win, while Idaho falls to 8-5.

"All the guys played really well and we competed hard," DU assistant coach Jeremy Wurtzman said. "It is nice to be back at home. Hopefully, this win will give us momentum against a tough BYU squad Saturday."

No. 7 Adam Holmstrom (Eskilstuna, Sweden) and Niklas Persson (Stockholm, Sweden) raced to an 8-3 win over Stanislav Glukhov and Paulo Miranda at No. 1, and Benny Althaus (Saarbrucken, Germany) and Andrew Landwerlen (Las Cruces, N.M.) defeated Robert Chalkley and Timothy Huynh 8-4 at No. 2.
