UC Irvine Edges Out Men's Tennis On The Road

IRVINE, Calif.—The University of Hawai'i men's tennis team took all six singles matches to three sets, but it was not enough as the Rainbow Warriors fell at UC Irvine, 5-2 on Friday afternoon at the Anteater Tennis Stadium. Hawai'i fell to 1-14 overall and 0-4 in the Big West while UC Irvine improved to 8-13 overall and 2-2 in conference.
 
UC Irvine captured the doubles point winning on Court No. 3 with Vatsal Bajpai and Bruce Man-Son-Hing defeating UH's Spencer Travalino and Fabian Woehrl, 6-2. UCI's Mason Hansen and Luca Marquard then held off Eric Kenneth and Igor Kolaric, 6-3 on the No. 2 court.
 
In singles, the Rainbow Warriors fought hard on all six courts, picking up wins at No. 2 and No. 5.  UH's Spencer Travalino earned the 'Bows' first win, knocking off Man-Son-Hing in a third set super-tiebreaker, coming back after dropping the first set for the win, 3-6, 7-5, 10-4. On the No. 2 court, Felix Albert was edged out in the first set in a tie-breaker before capturing the second set by a break.
