SANTA CLARA, Calif. — No. 51 LMU dropped a 4-0 decision to No. 40 Santa Clara in West Coast Conference men's tennis Sunday, falling to 16-3 on the season.

The Lions showed early promise in doubles, with Max Wuelfing and Alex Padro Parra leading John Kim and Luca Bluett 5-3 at No. 1 before the match was called unfinished. However, LMU dropped the other two courts, as Cesar Cruz and Emil Kindhult fell 6-2 to Tiago Boschmans and Luca Lemaitre Vilchis at No. 2, and Cyrus Ahmad and Darius Tamaddon were defeated 6-2 by Ferran Redza and Valentin Faure at No. 3, ceding the doubles point to Santa Clara.

The Broncos extended their lead quickly in singles, with LMU unable to secure a completed victory before the match was clinched. Wuelfing was a bright spot at No. 1, digging back after dropping the first set 4-6 to take the second 6-3 and push the match to a third before it was called.

Padro Parra told a similar story at No. 4, surrendering the first set to Lukas Maskow before rallying to win the second and even the third before that match was also stopped. Tristan Messerli battled at No. 6, pushing Tiago Boschmans to a tiebreak before falling 6-7(4) in the first set when play was halted.

Cruz fell 6-3, 6-4 to Lemaitre Vilchis at No. 2, Kindhult dropped a 6-0, 6-1 decision to John Kim at No. 3, and Kuba Hrynkiewicz lost 6-4, 6-1 to Faure at No. 5 as Santa Clara closed out the match.
