SEATTLE, Wash. - The Saint Mary's men's tennis team concluded its weekend in Seattle at the 2026 ITA Northwest Regionals. The Gaels had a pair of first round victories from the likes of Alexander Gschiel and Paulo Hugo Etchecoin, but the group would fail to move beyond the round of 32 to conclude their regional run.Â
Gschiel won his round of 64 match handily, defeating Pacific's Jonty Giesen 6-1 6-2 to advance to the round of 32. Gschiel faced off with Santa Clara's Valentin Faure and won the opening set 7-5. Faure would win the second to force a deciding third set and eventually took the match on a tiebreaker, 7-5, to conclude a competitive round of 32 contest. Paulo Hugo Etchecoin joined Gschiel in the round of 32 with an opening match victory over Gonzaga's Tristan Hernandez. The win also took three sets, as Etchecoin won back-to-back sets 6-1 to secure the win. His round of 32 defeat would come at the hands of another Bronco in Adam Farag-Cao, 1-6 3-6, to end his weekend.Â
Juan Pedro Etchecoin, Brendan Loh and Finn Dyer were also in action at Bill Quillian Tennis Stadium in Seattle. JP dropped his opening match in competitive fashion, losing the first set tiebreaker 3-7 and then the second set 3-6 to Stanford's Gus Grumet. Dyer and Loh would also show good fight with three-set defeats of their own to conclude the weekend for the Gaels.Â
