Bobcats Fall in Men's Tennis to Weber State

Wildcats cap winning weekend in Montana
Weber State freshman Hoo-En Chen beat Aaron Farmer in straight sets to clinch a 4-3 men's tennis win for the Wildcats at Montana State on Sunday.
Â
The win boosted Weber State's contention for the Big Sky regular season title, capping a weekend sweep of MSU and Montana which raised its record to 4-1 in league play. The loss drops MSU to 6-2 in the conference.
Â
While the matchup at No. 6 singles sealed Weber's win, the decisive match may have come at No. 1. WSU's Jakub Gewert won a 3-6, 7-5, 7-5 decision from Andre Napoliatano after the Wildcats won the doubles point. Javier Martin-Morillas (at No. 2) and Niklas Brandes (at No. 4) each won singles matches. Freshman Dylan Harvala came through with an exhilarating 6-7, 7-6, 10-6 win at No. 5 for the Cats, but with the team's depth stretched thin by the loss of No. 4 player Harry James to an injury MSU couldn't find the fourth singles win needed to cap the match.
Â
Montana State hosts crucial conference matches next weekend, with perennial league power Sacramento State coming to Bozeman on Saturday while NAU, currently undefeated in Big Sky play, visits Sunday.
