Bulls Drop Heartbreaker To DuquesnePITTSBURGH, PA - The University at Buffalo's men's tennis team dropped a heartbreaking 4-3 decision to Atlantic Ten opponent Duquesne on Friday night in Pittsburgh. The match came down to the final singles competition before a winner could be determined.
In the singles competition, UB managed to pick up two victories while Duquesne earned three to tie the match at 3-3 with one match to be completed. Rocchio defeated Russell Moseley, 6-0, 7-6 (7-5) at number three while Prahudha earned a 7-5, 6-4 win at number five over Ryan Moseley for the two UB wins. Kasiman fell in three sets to Fogelman at number one, 7-5, 4-6, 6-3. At number two Liederman was defeated by Lopez-Acevedo, who had transferred to Duquesne from Mid-American Conference rival Bowling Green, in straight sets, 6-2, 6-3. Raikar also suffered a straight sets loss to Ojeda at sixth singles, 7-6 (7-3), 6-3, setting the stage for the tiebreaking match. The fourth singles match between Zieziula and Peightal was tightly contested throughout the night with Peightal taking the first set, 6-4, before Zieziula rallied to take the second set by an identical 6-4 count to force a third set. Both players remained on serve as the set headed to a tiebreaker tied at six games apiece. But Zieziula was unable to pull out the victory as he suffered a 7-4 loss in the tiebreaker to give Peightal the 7-6 third-set decision. UB looks to regroup as it heads to the warmer climate of Florida for spring break matches.
The team will be in the Sunshine State from March 7-14, before returning north to make up earlier
postponed matches at Rochester on March 16 and Western Michigan on March 18. |
