Men’s tennis

It has been nearly a month since Idaho men’s tennis won a match, but Saturday and Sunday the seven-match losing streak was snapped when the Vandals beat UT-Arlington and New Mexico State in dominating fashion, 6-1 and 5-2, respectively.

“It’s great for our guys to get off the losing streak and get a conference win,” Idaho Director of Tennis Jeff Beaman said. “Hopefully we can take this confidence forward as we continue the season.”

Idaho is now 10-13 on the season and 1-2 in WAC play. The Vandals play 4:30 p.m. Friday, on the courts behind Memorial Gym against Northern Arizona.

“We’re looking forward to returning home and playing a match on our home court next week,” Beaman said.
