The Seattle University men's tennis team ran into its toughest competition of the weekend, as Idaho won the morning match, 6-1, and Oregon defeated the Redhawks Sunday afternoon, 7-0.

Mark Shkretbtan (Redmond, Wash.) picked up SeattleU's only point of the day, defeating Artem Kuznetsov of Idaho in straight sets (6-2, 6-1). Shkretbtan came back in the afternoon and pushed Oregon's Marco Veradasco, winning the second set before falling in the super tiebreaker (6-4, 3-6, 10-7).

In the Idaho match, Patrick Boorkman (Bellevue, Wash.) took Alex Joitoiu to three sets before losing (6-2, 2-6, 6-3), while Simon Meske (Tacoma, Wash.) went to a first-set tiebreaker with Adrian Simon, but the Idaho player was able to pull out the tiebreaker before picking up the straight-set victory (7-6 (7-4), 6-2).

Seattle University (3-4) is not scheduled to compete again for a month, when the team heads back to Portland March 5-6 for matches against Portland, Portland State, and Weber State.
