SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Saint Mary's (1-5) went down to the very last match with Sacramento State on Friday but ultimately came up short in a 4-3 road loss. 

The Gaels had a good start to the match by taking the doubles point. Matis Bot and Caelan Potts teamed up for a 6-3 win on Court 2 before James Watt and Boris Reckow sealed the deal with a close 7-6 (4) win as the No. 2 tandem. 

The Hornets soon tied up the contest and took the lead by getting two quick wins in singles. Graduate student Fabian Roensdorf then evened things up on Court 3 for SMC with a dominating 6-0, 6-1 performance against Michael Vizcarra.

Sac State took another close match on the No. 1 court to move ahead 3-2 but Karlo Divkovic powered past his opponent 6-4, 6-1 as the Gaels' No. 5 player to tie the score once again. On Court 6, the Hornets' Jan Silva came out on top over Matis Bot to secure the win.
