After being swept Friday night by Texas-San Antonio, 7-0, the Seattle University men's tennis team was able to pick up a couple victories Saturday morning, but they were not enough as Montana earned a 5-2 victory, with both contests taking place at the Louisiana-Pacific Tennis Center.

Senior David Kovas (South Bend, Ind.) picked up a victory at the number one singles position with a straight-set victory over Carl Kuschke (6-3, 6-4). Freshman Matt Overland (Renton, Wash.) was victorious over Michael Facey in the number three singles position, also in straight sets (6-3, 6-3).

Seattle U's number one doubles team of Simon Meske (Tacoma, Wash.) and Mark Shkrebtan (Redmond, Wash.) earned an 8-5 victory over Kuschke and Josh Smith. However, Montana was able to pick up the doubles point with victories in the number two and number three doubles sets.

In Friday's match against Texas-San Antonio, Andrew Anderson (Tacoma, Wash.) won the first set over Yannick Junger before Junger came back to win the match in three sets (2-6, 6-3, 6-2). After dropping the first set, Jason Bediones (Kent, Wash.) sent his match into a super-tiebreaker by winning the second set, but Pedro Zanotelli was able to hold on for the match victory (6-4, 5-7, 10-4).

Seattle University (2-11) returns home to face Eastern Washington Sunday, March 13, at the Boeing Tennis Club in Kent beginning at 12:30 p.m.
