BOCA RATON, Fla. – Florida Atlantic men's tennis fell Sunday afternoon to perennial power UC Santa Barbara by a 4-1 score.
Doubles was a dog fight. Segundo Goity Zapico and Lucca Pitnaton quickly won their match and needed just one more to secure the point in the best-of-three format. Both courts went into extra play, with UCSB ultimately winning the point.
Singles play began with UCSB winning court two to go up 2-0, until a vocal Simon Myslivec captured his match 7-5, 6-1, to pull within one at 2-1. The remaining four courts volleyed back and forth, with UCSB securing the final two matches in the best-of-seven formats or the 4-1 win.
