SANTA CLARA, Calif. - The Loyola Marymount men's tennis team fought until the end, but were unable to upend conference opponents Santa Clara. The Lions (5-13, 1-4 WCC) won doubles then made it interesting in singles, before losing the match, 4-2, to the Broncos (14-3, 4-2 WCC).

The Lions worked out of a hole to earn the double's point. LMU lost on Court 2, but responded with Nick Borchenko and Gabriel Diaz Freize Friere's 6-2 win on Court 1. This set up the decisive match on Court 3, which Luke Bohuslav and Ryan Brown were able to win, 6-4, earning the team point.

Santa Clara took the lead briefly with the first two doubles decisions going their way. Diaz Friere's win on Court 2 evened the score back at 2-2.

Santa Clara retook the lead and eventually the match, while leaving Lukas Moenter in a 6-6 tie in the tird.

The Lions return to LMU Tennis Center next week for their final two home matches of the season. LMU hosts San Diego on April 13 and BYU on April 15.
