Weber State earned wins at Nos. 2 and 3 doubles to gain the early advantage and held on for a 5-2 victory over Montana State, Sunday morning in the Bobcat-Anderson Tennis Center.
Montana State dropped four-of-six singles matches, but received points at the No. 4 and 5 positions.
Sophomore Fletcher Keyes posted his second win of the weekend with a 6-1, 6-0 decision over Chris Williams. Fuentes, a freshman from Mexico, also posted a win with a 6-4, 6-7, 10-4 victory over Travis Covington.
The Bobcats notched one win in doubles play as its top duo of Jakub Dybala and Pawel Turzanski posted an 8-3 victory at the No. 1 position.
“Weber State is playing excellent tennis,” said MSU men’s coach Mike Phillips. “I thought our guys competed hard, but we came up short in some crucial matches.”
MSU will host Idaho State and Montana next weekend in the BATC.
