SANTA BARBARA, Calif.—The UC Riverside Men's Tennis Team took a quick break from conference play Friday afternoon and came out on top besting Westmont 7-2 on the road. The Highlanders went undefeated in singles play in the nine-point match and earned a dominant doubles win at court three. Singles was played first, giving UCR a 6-0 win before getting to doubles play.
UCR has now won two straight matches and six of their last seven to again extend its record breaking season. The Highlanders will test their might this weekend against a tough duo in UC Santa Barbara and Cal Poly.
