MIAMI SHORES, Fla. -- Barry University's No. 3-ranked men's tennis team will host No. 31 Palm Beach Atlantic 3 p.m. Friday on Senior Day in the final regular season match. 

The Buccaneers (18-0) are in search of their second unbeaten regular season in school history, having done so the first time in 2013. 

Barry will honor seniors Kevin Sielmann and Fabian Groetsch, who will be playing their final regular season matches at Buccaneer Tennis Center. Both have been a part of four Sunshine State Conference championship teams, and were members on the 2013 NCAA Division II National Championship team.

Sielmann, who hails from Barcelona, Spain, is 37-9 in his singles career, and 30-5 in doubles. He won a career-high 11 singles matches in both his sophomore and junior years, and was 15-1 in doubles last year. This year, Sielmann is 5-0 in singles and 7-3 in doubles, having sat out a month due to injury. He's been ranked in the top 50 in the country a couple times during his career.

Groetsch, a product of Nuremberg, Germany, owns a career singles record of 47-20 and a doubles mark of 64-15. He won 16 singles matches as a freshman, and was 23-3 in doubles as a sophomore, finishing the season with partner Marco Mokrzycki as the No. 1-ranked team in the country. Groetsch has earned All-American honors in each of his first three years at Barry. He is currently ranked No. 4 in the nation in singles and No. 8 in doubles.

Friday's match is the final regular season test before the Bucs compete in next week's Sunshine State Conference Championships in Saint Leo, Fla.
