ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (UNLVRebels.com) – The UNLV men's tennis team could not recover from losing the doubles point and fell 4-0 to New Mexico in Friday afternoon's battle between two teams that came in tied for first place in the Mountain West.
Â
Playing indoors because of high winds, the Rebels fell to 8-10 overall and 2-1 in league play while the Lobos improved to 5-8 and 3-0 in the MW.
Â
The teams began by playing a tight doubles session but UNM grabbed the team point with a 7-5 win on court one after taking a 6-3 victory at No. 2. The match on court three was halted all tied up at 5.
Â
The Rebels won the first set on two singles courts and were battling in another but the Lobos quickly clinched things by taking a trio of straight-set victories.
 Â
QUOTABLE:Â "The doubles point was close and losing that put us in a hole going into singles. The guys battled in certain spots but playing indoors at high altitude was tough."
-UNLV Head Coach Owen Hambrook
Â
NEXT FOR THE REBELS:Â UNLV heads to Air Force for a Sunday match in Colorado Springs starting at 11 a.m.
