WAIKOLOA - In the final match of the fall season, the University of Hawai`i men's tennis team fought valiantly but still came up short in a 7-0 loss to No. 22 and Pac-10 powerhouse, Stanford, Tuesday afternoon, at the Hilton Waikoloa Village.

Showing no intimidation, the Rainbow Warriors gave it there all. Stanford won the doubles point by winning all three matches, and in singles competition, the Cardinal won all six matches.

In an exciting match at No. 1, K.C. Corkery defeated Rainbow Warrior freshman Sascha Heinemann, 6-4, 6-4. Seniors Bryon Weinberg, Ryan Sceats, and Jarrod Diepraam also lost in straight sets. At No.2, Weinberg fell to Matt Bruch, 6-1, 6-2. At the No.3 court, Sceats dropped a close match to James Pade, 6-4, 6-4, and Blake Muller ousted Diepraam 6-4, 6-3 at No. 5.

Junior Derrick Lajola dropped a 6-4, 6-3 match to James Wan at No. 4 and Jon Wong defeated fellow Rainbow Warrior junior Chad Faulk, 6-3, 6-1 at No. 6.

The Rainbow Warriors will get another chance at the Cardinal in January. The next match for the Rainbow Warriors will be a dual match against the San Francisco Dons, Jan. 23.
