MTEN | Saint Mary's Drops Match to BYU

PROVO, Utah — Saint Mary's (3-10) came up short in their second West Coast Conference match of the season as they fell to BYU 4-0 in Provo. 

The Cougars (6-5) took the doubles points with wins on Courts 1 and 3. SMC won the first doubles match as the team's No. 2 duo of Damon Kesaris and Fabian Roensdorf took a 6-2 set but BYU managed the comeback in the other two sets. No. 55 James Watt/Boris Reckow were edged 7-5 in the deciding match on Court 1. 

BYU earned wins from their No. 1, 2, and 3 singles players in that order to clinch the match. Watt and Roensdorf each forced three sets with their opponents but were unable to win the decisive final set. 

After nine consecutive matches away from home, Saint Mary's returns to Moraga to host San Francisco in one week. The Friday match begins at 2 p.m. at Korth Tennis Complex.
