The match is the first of two in Colorado for the 61st-ranked Tigers, who will head north to Denver for a match against No. 63 Denver Saturday at 6:30 p.m. ET.
Friday's match marked the collegiate dual-match debut for freshmen Kial Kaiser, Luke Gamble and Diego Vives, each of whom were unbeaten on the day.

Coach Billy Pate on the match: "It's always nice to get the first win under your belt. Though I think we started a bit tentative in doubles, we did a commendable job of getting off to good starts in the singles. It was nice to see the freshmen gain valuable experience and have some success. Tomorrow will be tough and we'll need to be sharp." |
