Wildcats drop match to Aztecs
2/14/2025 6:01:00 PM | Men's Tennis
Ogden, UT — The Weber State Men's Tennis came up short against the San Diego State Aztecs dropping the Valentine's Day match 5-2.
"Great performance in doubles but we gave it away," head coach Brad Ferreira said, "We had chances on Connor, Jordan and Liam's matches."
The Wildcats clinched the doubles point in a back-and-forth match on Court #2. William Zulch and Tristan Sarap secured the point with a 7-5 victory in the match to give the 'Cats a 1-0 lead going into singles. Liam Day and Jordan Coutinho made quick work on Court #3 winning their doubles match 6-1.
Three of the six matches in singles play required the playing of a third set with a total of four tiebreaking sets during play. Tristan Sarap pulled off a gutsy win on Court #1 winning his match 7-5, 7-6 (7-3). Connor Kruger and Liam Day fought tooth and nail but ultimately fell to their competition. Kruger lost two tiebreaking sets to fall short in his match on Court #2. Jordan Coutinho and Liam Day both fell in their matches in the third set dashing any hopes the Wildcats would have of pulling off the win in a marathon of a match.
The 'Cats now hold a record of 2-4 and will enter conference play next Saturday against the Montana State Bobcats. The Bobcats come into the matchup with a record of 1-5 and will open their conference season with a matchup against Idaho State on February 21st. The match will take place at the Ogden Athletic Club on Saturday, Feb. 22nd at 10:30 a.m.
