Irvine, CA - The UC Riverside Men's Tennis Team dropped its regular season finale Wednesday afternoon at UC Irvine, 7-0, to conclude the Big West portion of its schedule.
The Highlanders fell behind in doubles as UCI's number three duo earned an 8-2 win at number three, and pulled out a close-fought 8-7 victory at number two. The match at the top spot went unfinished once the Anteaters had the doubles point in hand.
In singles, Luis Gastao lost in identical 6-4 sets at #1, while Cooper Bridge fell 6-1, 6-4 at #2. Marcus Vizcarra dropped a 6-2, 6-2 match at number three while Julian Ruffin was handed a 6-3, 6-3 loss at number four.
In the bottom two flights, Jack Felich lost 6-2, 6-0 at #5, and Michael Carella fell 6-2, 6-1 at number six.
"It was a tough loss today," Head Coach Tim Downey stated. "We struggled with the pace a bit, and didn't adjust as well as we could have today. We'll do our best to rebound and be ready for the conference tourney next week."
The Big West Conference Championship gets underway next Thursday, April 24 at Indian Wells Tennis Garden in Indian Wells, CA.
