TUCSON, Ariz. - The 45th ranked University of Utah men's tennis team was unable to record a victory earlier today, as they dropped their match to the 24th ranked University of Arizona with a score of 0-4. With this loss, the Utes will fall to an overall record of 16-9 on the seaon, with a record of 2-5 in Pac-12 conference play.
"It was tough loss to a very solid Arizona team today. Winning on the road in the Pac-12 is hard enough, let alone without two of your starters in Randy and Dave, but our guys fought super hard and came up short," said head coach Roeland Brateanu. "We'll learn from this, get better and have another opportunity tomorrow."
In doubles, Arizona gained the early edge, as they were able to earn the doubles point against Utah. Russell Benkaim and Joe Woolley were able to record a victory on court No. 3, as they were able to defeat Jonas Maier and Stewart Block with a score of 6-2. David Micevski and Slava Shainyan were unable to record a victory at the No. 1 spot, as they were defeated by No. 65 Igor Karpovets and Jonas Ziverts with a score of 6-3. Dan Little and Azat Hankuliyev then lost their match at the No. 2 psotion, as they were defeated by Filip Malbasic and Alejandro Requant-Bicardi with a score of 7-6(10).
In singles, the Utes lost matches on courts 2, 5 and 6, to allow the Wildcats to complete the 4-0 sweep. The University of Utah men's tennis team will be back in action tomorrow, as they will take on No. 31 Arizona State. The Utes are set to compete against the Sun Devils at 2 p.m. MT, in Tempe, Arizona.
