PLENTY OF CLOSE SINGLES MATCHES, BUT MEN’S TENNIS FALLS TO NATIONALLY RANKED PACIFIC

SACRAMENTO -- Five of the six singles matches were extremely close, including three 3-setters, but Sacramento State fell to Pacific, 6-1, on Saturday afternoon on campus.

Today's match was a makeup for a contest that was rained out earlier this season.

Sacramento State concluded its season-long seven match homestand with a 5-2 record. The team also saw its four-match winning streak snapped.

Pacific improved its record to 8-6. The Tigers have now won four of their last five matches.

The Hornets' lone point came from freshman Martin Duris, who won his match at No. 5 by a 6-2, 7-6 (5) score. Duris has now won seven straight singles matches, while improving to 11-4.

Henry Lamchinniah (No. 1), Nick Bowles (No. 3) and Hayden Rand (No. 4) each lost in three sets. Lamchinniah had won six straight singles matches prior to this afternoon. Gur Libal lost at No. 2 in close fashion (6-4, 6-4), and David Dai fell at No. 6 by a 6-2, 6-4 score.

Pacific won at Nos. 1 and 2 doubles to secure the point. The Hornets had won each of their last four doubles points.
