PORTLAND – The Idaho men’s tennis team concluded a perfect weekend by
beating Seattle University 7-0 late Saturday night. Idaho beat UC Davis 7-0
earlier in the day and topped Portland University on Friday, and improves to
7-1 on the season with the win.
"The 7-0 win was a great conclusion to a very long weekend of
tennis,” Idaho coach Jeff Beaman said. “It was good to see the guys still
focused closing out matches around midnight today after being up before 7 a.m.
for the morning match against UC Davis, and some of them spending close to five
hours on court with all their matches. "
The win against Seattle U was Idaho’s fifth straight. Idaho swept the
doubles point with wins at all three doubles positions, and won five of their
six singles matches in straight sets.
In Idaho’s win against UC Davis, only Alex
Joitou, at the No. 3 singles position, needed three sets to win his singles
point, as Lachlan Reed, Jose Bendeck, Alan Shin and Abid Akbar won in straight
sets, and Marius Cirstea won at the No. 1 spot after his counterpart, UC Davis'
Toki Sherbajov, forfeited due to injury.
Cirstea and Joitoiu teamed up to win 8-6 at No. 1
doubles, Bendeck and Reed won 8-3 at No. 2 doubles, and Akbar and Jake Knox won
8-1 at No. 3 doubles.
