SACRAMENTO -- Sacramento State received singles wins from Henry Lamchinniah, Nick Bowles, Martin Duris and David Dai as the Hornets closed the regular season with a 4-3 home win over Idaho on Saturday afternoon on campus.

The Hornets (11-10, 4-4), who have been starting four freshmen and a sophomore in the singles lineup all season, improved to 9-3 at home. Sacramento State will be the No. 5 seed at next week's Big Sky Conference Tournament in Phoenix where it faces No. 4 Weber State in the first round on Thursday at 8 a.m. Idaho (9-11, 4-4) will be the No. 6 seed and take on No. 3 Montana.

The winner of those two quarterfinal matches advance to Friday's semifinals to play either top seed Northern Arizona or No. 2 Idaho State. Sacramento State, despite the youngest roster in recent memory, will attempt to repeat as Big Sky Tournament champions.

The Hornets trailed, 3-0, after losing the doubles point and Nos. 2 and 4 singles. However, Sacramento State won four straight singles matches to claim victory.

The comeback started with Dai winning at No. 6 (6-3, 6-4), Bowles at No. 3 (7-5, 6-4) and Duris at No. 5 (6-3, 2-6, 6-1).

With the score tied at 3-3, Lamchinniah provided the match clincher with a 6-3, 2-6, 7-6 (3) victory at No. 1. The sophomore came back from 4-5 and 5-6 deficits in the third set and saved one match point. He improved his record to 14-5 in singles play, and 6-2 vs. Big Sky competition.

Prior to the match, Hayden Rand was honored on Senior Day. Rand is the team's lone senior.

"We had a great crowd today, and the fans really provided good energy," Sacramento State head coach Kevin Kurtz said. "I'm proud of how our guys really dug in, fought and scrapped for this victory. We played great tennis today, and look forward to competing in the Big Sky Tournament."
