Top-seeded <a href=\"https:\/\/belmontbruins.com\/sports\/mens-tennis\/roster\/sabi-roi\/4687\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"4687\" target=\"_blank\">Sabi Roi<\/a> will face junior <a href=\"https:\/\/belmontbruins.com\/sports\/mens-tennis\/roster\/stefan-vedovelli\/4689\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"4689\" target=\"_blank\">Stefan Vedovelli<\/a> at the Beaman Family Tennis Complex in the league&#8217;s singles championship match.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nThe winner of Sunday&#8217;s Horizon League singles and doubles titles will receive an automatic berth into the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Conference Masters Championships, which will be held Nov. 6-9 in San Diego.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nBelmont is the defending Horizon League team champion after winning the 2025 Horizon League Championship this past April. Fittingley, Roi clinched the title match versus Cleveland State at No. 3 singles, while Vedovelli picked up a crucial point with a win at No. 5 singles.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nA trio of Bruins had impressive singles victories Saturday on the second day of the Horizon League Individual Championships. Winning the longest match of the day, freshman <a href=\"https:\/\/belmontbruins.com\/sports\/mens-tennis\/roster\/austin-yack\/4692\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"4692\" target=\"_blank\">Austin Yack<\/a> gutted out a strenuous three-set affair to upset second-seeded Lincoln Battle of Cleveland State in the quarterfinals.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nPlaying three tiebreakers, Yack recovered from an 8-6 opening set tiebreak with consecutive 7-2 breakers in the second and third sets.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nPrior to Yack&#8217;s triumph, Vedovelli outlasted Youngstown State&#8217;s Matteo Ceradelli, also in the quarterfinals. Despite dropping the first set, 6-4, Vedovelli battled back to win the second and third sets, 6-3 and 7-5.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nIn the semifinals, senior Roi took out third-seeded Taj Hibbert of Tennessee State, who had gotten past sixth-seeded <a href=\"https:\/\/belmontbruins.com\/sports\/mens-tennis\/roster\/charlie-robin\/4686\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"4686\" target=\"_blank\">Charlie Robin<\/a> in three sets in the quarterfinals. Pulling out a 7-4 tiebreaker in the first set, Roi bounced back from a 6-4 second set loss with a convincing 6-3 win in the third set.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nIn the other semifinal, Yack had to withdraw, giving Vedovelli a spot in Sunday&#8217;s final versus Roi.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nIn Saturday&#8217;s main draw doubles action, the tandem of Roi and Vedovelli defeated Indiana University Indianapolis&#8217; Brandon Pham and Eli Mercer 8-5 in the quarterfinals.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nDoubles semifinals will begin Sunday&#8217;s play at 9 a.m. followed by the doubles final at 10:30 a.m.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nRoi and Vedovelli will take on the Penguins&#8217; Alexis Maulouet and Rafael Le Fur in the doubles semis.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nBelmont&#8217;s complete match results, including consolation matches played Saturday, from the first two days of the Horizon League Individual Championships can be found below.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nHorizon League Individual Championships \u2013 Friday and Saturday Results<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nDoubles<br \/>\nRd. 16 \u2013 Jy Hibbert\/Axel Sabourin (USI) def. <a href=\"https:\/\/belmontbruins.com\/sports\/mens-tennis\/roster\/esteban-ortiz\/4685\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"4685\" target=\"_blank\">Esteban Ortiz<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/belmontbruins.com\/sports\/mens-tennis\/roster\/austin-yack\/4692\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"4692\" target=\"_blank\">Austin Yack<\/a> (Belmont), 8-7 (5)<br \/>\nRd. 16 \u2013 Dominik Vonbank\/Matteo Ceradelli (Youngstown State) def. <a href=\"https:\/\/belmontbruins.com\/sports\/mens-tennis\/roster\/charlie-robin\/4686\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"4686\" target=\"_blank\">Charlie Robin<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/belmontbruins.com\/sports\/mens-tennis\/roster\/will-ecklund\/4691\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"4691\" target=\"_blank\">Will Ecklund<\/a> (Belmont), 8-6<br \/>\nRd. 16 \u2013 Alexis Maulouet\/Rafael Le Fur (Youngstown State) def. <a href=\"https:\/\/belmontbruins.com\/sports\/mens-tennis\/roster\/eli-mizerski\/4683\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"4683\" target=\"_blank\">Eli Mizerski<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/belmontbruins.com\/sports\/mens-tennis\/roster\/morgan-woodson\/4690\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"4690\" target=\"_blank\">Morgan Woodson<\/a> (Belmont), 8-3<br \/>\nQF \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/belmontbruins.com\/sports\/mens-tennis\/roster\/sabi-roi\/4687\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"4687\" target=\"_blank\">Sabi Roi<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/belmontbruins.com\/sports\/mens-tennis\/roster\/stefan-vedovelli\/4689\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"4689\" target=\"_blank\">Stefan Vedovelli<\/a> (Belmont) def.
