Men's Tennis Drops Road Match to LMU

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- The USF Dons men's tennis team completed their 2022 spring regular season schedule on Saturday afternoon in Southern California as they fell to the Loyola Marymount Lions 4-2 at the LMU Tennis Center.

The Dons got off to a strong start by winning both completed doubles matches as the duos of Nitzan Ricklis and Phuch Huynh as well as Mitch Johnson and Nil Giraldez each picked up key victories that netted USF the first team point on Saturday.

LMU was able to take back control of the contest as they won four singles matches to claim the remaining points in route to the victory. Huynh was able to carry the Dons in singles as he won his match to account for the second USF point against the Lions.
