The Butler men's tennis team picked up their first win of the spring season on Sunday morning, thanks to some late heroics from Nicholas Shirley.

Shirley delivered the winning point with a three-set victory on court five. After winning the first set 6-4 and dropping the second set 1-6, he came back to win the final set in a thrilling tiebreaker, 7-6 (2). 

The other three points for Butler came courtesy of singles victories from Nicolas Arts, Rahulniket Konakanchi, and Siddhartha Lama, each winning in straight sets. 

The Bulldogs move to 1-4 on the season. They'll make the short trip to Marian University for their next match on Friday, Feb. 6th.
