MEN’S TENNIS 4-MATCH WINNING STREAK SNAPPED WITH 4-3 ROAD LOSS AT SAN FRANCISCO

SAN FRANCISCO -- Despite singles wins from Mate Voros, Adam Chodur and Rudolfs Aksenoks, Sacramento State fell on the road to San Francisco, 4-3, on Friday afternoon at Goldman Tennis Center.

Sacramento State saw its four-match winning streak snapped while dropping to 5-2. San Francisco was playing its season opener, and the Hornets narrowly missed winning their first road match at USF since 2006.

The Dons opened the match by winning the doubles point, and never trailed the entire match.

The Hornets tied things at 1-1 on Chodur's 6-2, 6-4 win at No. 4, and tied the match again at 2-2 after Aksenoks' 6-3, 6-3 win at No. 6. Sacramento State would again tie at 3-3 when Voros won at No. 2 by a 6-3, 7-6 score.

However, San Francisco won matches at Nos. 1, 3 and 5 to secure the victory. With the score tied at 3-3, Nikola Kuraica beat Jan Silva at No. 3 in three sets. Both Silva and Jiri Novak (No. 5) lost tiebreakers in their matches. Mark Keki played at No. 1 and lost his first singles match of the season (4-1). Chodur improved to 5-0.

Sacramento State is back in action tomorrow when it travels to 17th-ranked Stanford for a 1 p.m. matchup with the Cardinal.
