Rebel Netters Fall To Lobos
4/14/2022 4:37:00 PM | Men's Tennis
LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) – The UNLV men's tennis team lost an intense doubles point and could not recover in a 4-1 loss to New Mexico on Thursday at the Fertitta Tennis Complex.
Â
The Rebels fell to 12-12 overall and 1-3 in the Mountain West while the Lobos climbed into a first-place tie with UNR at 3-1 in the league (9-10 overall).
Â
The teams split doubles matches on courts 1-2, with UNLV's win coming at the top by the score of 7-5. The point would come down to court three where the Lobo duo of Georgio Samaha and Rafael Abdulsalam eked out a 7-6 tiebreak victory over Zach Garner and Christopher Bulus.
Â
In singles, UNM used that momentum to win the first set on five courts. The hosts, however, got on the board and then forced two other matchups to a third set before the Lobos closed it out with a trio of straight-set wins.
Â
REBEL OF THE MATCH: Milos Dabic teamed with Zac Brodney for a 7-5 win at the top doubles position and then notched his team's only singles win, 6-4, 6-3, over Jan Pucalka on court four.
Â
UP NEXT:Â UNLV closes its home schedule by hosting Air Force on Saturday starting with doubles at noon. Before the match, the team's seniors will be honored on Court One.
