DENVER - Denver won its fifth consecutive match Friday with a 4-3 win over Sun Belt Conference rival South Alabama at Gates Tennis Center.

The Pioneers won four singles matches to improve to 8-12 overall. South Alabama falls to 6-8 with the loss.

After dropping the doubles point, Yannick Weihs (Guntramsdorf, Austria), Jens Vorkefeld (Ostercappeln, Germany), Andrew Landwerlen (Las Cruces, N.M.) and Angel Alvarez (San Antonio, Texas) recorded singles wins for the Pioneers. Alvarez recorded his first dual win of the season with a three-set win over Parker Allen at No. 6 singles.

"We have built a little momentum now and hopefully we can carry that into our last match of the year against UCF," DU head coach Danny Westerman said. "We still have some room to improve and hopefully, we can take one more step on Sunday."

Denver returns to action on April 10 against Central Florida.
