Los Angeles, Calif. - Loyola Marymount begins a big week of tennis this
week, hosting five matches in eight days at the LMU Tennis
Center. The Lions (0-4, 0-1 WCC) are coming off a
strong effort against 16th-ranked Pepperdine, but have
not played since that February 23 match-up.
LMU will try to use that time off to get them
through this week of five home matches, beginning with
Claremont on Saturday, March 05 at 2:30 p.m. The Stags
are ranked sixth in Division III and enter the contest with
a record of 5-6 and 3-0 in conference play. Claremont
will play a match at home Saturday morning before traveling
to face the Lions in the afternoon.
The Lions will then battle Boston University (0-
0) Monday and the University of Pennsylvania (4-1, 0-
0) Tuesday in back-to-back match-ups. LMU will return
to the courts Thursday for West Coast Conference action
against Gonzaga (1-5, 0-1) before wrapping up the
homestand against Yale (2-4, 0-0) next Saturday.
Sophomore Nico Terrien is coming off a big win
against No. 16 Pepperdine, where he defeated the 2004
WCC Player of the Year Pedro Rico to set the new LMU
record for highest-ranked win. Rico, who had been ranked
as eighth in the nation this season, was ranked 24th when
Terrien defeated him 3-6, 6-4, 12-10.
