LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - The UNLV men's tennis team saw its three-match winning streak snapped by former Mountain West rival Utah, 4-3, Friday night at the Fertitta Tennis Complex.

The Rebels fell to 7-5 while the 35th-ranked Utes of the Pac-12 Conference improved to 16-2 overall.

UNLV got off to a great start, taking the doubles point with 6-4 victories on both courts one and two.

With the match eventually tied at 3, the visitors earned the clinching point on court three by winning the only three-set match of the evening.

NET NOTE: The Rebels have won the doubles point in seven straight matches.

QUOTABLE: "It was a great doubles point, which went our way, but we couldn't quite get the job done in singles tonight."
