Media Credit: Liz Hendricks Sophomore Bernardo Bachino (pictured in a photo by Liz Hendricks) won a hard fought match against Samford's Renan Silveira in last Wednesday's match of non-conference play.

Despite Bachino's efforts, Samford came out victorious 4-3 over the men and downed the women's team 7-0. Bachino and Silveira could be heard yelling at each other in Portuguese between games.

"We usually play in Brazil together," says Bachino. "We are mates. Last time I lost against him, so it was good."

Both teams will be in Macon, Ga., today where they will take on Mercer at 1:00 p.m.
