DAVIS, Calif. - Sophomore Bastian Bartels earned a three-set win at No.5 singles, but it proved to be the only Aggie win as Montana State defeated UC Davis 6-1 in a men's tennis match Friday afternoon at the Marya Welch Tennis Center.
With the loss the Aggies fall to 3-10 on the season. It marked the first match for the Aggies since March 13. Montana State completes the doubleheader sweep on Friday after posting a victory over Sacramento State earlier in the day.
The match began with the Bobcats taking all three doubles matches for the opening point. No.'s 1 and 3 were tight matches as the Bobcat duo of Marek Gebicki and Braden Olson needed a tiebreaker to defeat Michael Chin and Justin Garcia, 9-8, at No.1 while Tejeshwara Chigateri and Jake Berriochoa escaped with a 9-7 win over Daniel Furman and Blake Roberts at No.3. Federico Ueltschi and Kyle McDonald completed the sweep with an 8-4 win over Jordan Combs and Casey McMakin at No.2
In singles, Bartels provided the lone Aggie highlight of the day. After dropping the first set 6-4, Bartels blanked Berriochoa 6-0 in the second before pulling out the third set, 7-5. Jayce Fitch extended Ueltschi to a third set at the No.1 spot before the Bobcat came away with the 5-7, 7-6, (10-6) victory. With the team win already clinched, the two played a super tiebreaker for the third set.
The other four matches were won in straight sets by Montana State as Gebicki defeated Chin, 6-2, 6-4 at No.2 while Chigateri won two close sets for a 6-4, 7-6 win over Combs at No.3. At No.4, McDonald defeated Daniel Elefant, 6-1, 7-5 and Justin Hauck needed a second-set tiebreaker to defeat McMakin, 6-2, 7-6, at No.6.
