PORTLAND, Ore.- The Pacific men's tennis team was narrowly edged by Division I Portland State on Friday morning. The Boxers won two of the three doubles matches to earn one point, but the Vikings won four singles matches to snatch the 4-3 victory.
"It was a tough match today," said Interim Head Coach
Brian Jackson. "We started well in doubles, but had a lot of first-match jitters in singles, forcing us to fight from behind. It was a good opportunity for us to learn and get some experience. We are looking forward to getting back out there with a good Seattle opponent tomorrow at home."
FULL RESULTS
Reyn Miyagawa (Junior/Kaneohe, HI) and
Mason Tran (Freshman/Irvine, CA) teamed up to win the No. 1 doubles match 6-2.
In the No. 3 spot, the duo of
Joey Hu (Junior/Aiea, HI) and
Koby Murata (Junior/Kaimuki, HI) clinched the doubles point for Pacific by winning their match 6-0.
In singles, Hu made quick work of his opponent in the no. 5 spot with his 6-1, 6-2 victory and Murata followed by winning his match in three sets 3-6, 6-3, 6-0.
