PHILADELPHIA - The La Salle University men's tennis team completed the regular season on Tuesday afternoon against Big 5 and Atlantic 10 rival Saint Joseph's.

Senior Brian Balico and freshman Patrick Pascual combined to earn a victory at No. 2 doubles, defeating Scott Battaglia and Beekman Schaeffer, 6-3, but St. Joe's earned the doubles point with wins at No. 1 and No. 3.

Junior Tomas Christian was the top individual player for La Salle, as he took eight games from Schaeffer at No. 3 singles.
