LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Renzo Maggi's three-set victory over the University of Hawai`i's Jeff Fitch gave Loyola Marymount a 4-3 dual match victory, Monday afternoon, at the LMU Tennis Center. The Rainbow Warriors dropped their fifth consecutive match and saw their overall record fall to 4-10.

The Lions (6-11) won all three doubles matches to take the early 1-0 lead. In singles play, LMU extended its lead to 3-1 with wins by Nick Perez over UH's Spence Mendoza at No. 6 and Jacek Twarowski over Derrick Lajola at No. 3.

However, the 'Bows answered back as Sascha Heinemann closed out a 6-3, 7-6 victory over Sam Tadevosian at No. 2 and Chad Faulk rallied past Matt Phillips, 2-6, 6-3, 6-4, at No. 4. With the team score tied at 3-3, the focus turned to court five where Fitch and Maggi traded 7-5 decisions in the first two sets. But Maggi pulled out the win, 6-2, in the third and gave the Lions just their third win over UH in 26 matches.

UH freshman Andreas Weber continued his solid play with a 6-2, 6-1 victory over Nico Terrien at the top singles position. The win was Weber's 20th this season and 12th in 14 dual matches. With his straight set win over Tadevosian, Heinemann improved to 19-5 overall and 10-2 in dual matches this season.

The 'Bows conclude their two-match road trip at Cal Poly, Thursday, April 5. First serve is 2:00 p.m. PDT at Mustang Courts.
