Niklas Brandes swept through No. 1 singles without dropping a game, leading Montana State to a dominating 7-0 win over Southern Utah in men's tennis Sunday at the Bobcat-Anderson Tennis Complex in Bozeman.

The Bobcats didn't drop a set in singles play, and allowed the Thunderbirds to win only three games in doubles play in completing the sweep. Diego Campos also swept through his singles match without surrendering a game, while Javier Martin-Morillas allowed just one.
