Lions Fall 4-3 in Tight Contest

LA JOLLA, Calif., – The LMU men's tennis team fell in a heartbreaker on Sunday afternoon to UC San Diego in La Jolla, Calif.  
 
The Tritons won the doubles point with only the team of Emin Torlic and Alex Pedro Parra scoring a victory in the best of three. 
 
The Lions fared well in the singles competition, winning three of the six matches. The doubles point ended up being the difference. 
 
Alvaro Gonzalez got the Lions on the board to cut the deficit to 2-1.  
 
Arthur Pantino took the point on court two to knot things up. He won in straight sets (7-5, 6-3).  
 
Yassine Smiej gave the Lions a lead after sweeping on court one. 
 
With a 3-2 lead, the Lions would need one of the final two points from court three or court five.  
 
Emin Torlic dropped a pair of close sets on court three.  
 
That left court five, where Parra played a three-set thriller. He fought back after dropping the first set 6-1 and won the second 6-3. The deciding set went to the Tritons 6-4. 
 
The Lions are back on the court on February 4 at 12:00 p.m. (PT) at UC Irvine.
