Cats lose only two sets on the afternoon...
Montana State won its first Big Sky men's tennis match of the season Sunday, sweeping Eastern Washington 7-0 on Cheney, Washington.
The Cats captured the doubles point by winning all three matches, then took each of the six singles matches. Matej Panik (1-6, 6-1, 6-2 over Jeremy Mueller) at No. 1 and Daan Van Dijk (4-6, 7-6, 6-1 against Wout Doumen) at No. 2 each completed come-from-behind wins at the top ladder spots. MSU captured straight-set wins at the other four positions.
Jamieson Nathan defeated Steven Paz 7-5, 6-3 at the third ladder position, while Brad Buckland won 7-6, 6-1 over Erik Sarlvik at No. 4. Joaquin Espinoza (6-3, 6-4 vs. Brady Thomas at No. 5) and Manuel Monteiro (6-3, 7-5 over Drew Dillon at No. 6) completed the day's proceedings.
In doubles play, Matej Panik and Daan Van Dijk won 6-3 at the top spot in the order, Marcos Zelver and Manuel Monteiro won at No. 2, and Brad Buckland and Jamieson Nathan combined for a win at the third ladder position.
Montana State is now 3-1 on the season, 1-0 in Big Sky play. The Eagles are 0-4, 0-1. The Cats host a pair of non-conference matches this weekend, with Seattle visiting the Bobcat-Anderson Tennis Center Friday at 2 pm and Oral Roberts squaring off with MSU Sunday at 2 pm.
