BYU men’s tennis fell, 4-1, to UC Irvine on Friday afternoon at the Anteater Tennis Stadium.
“No matter who we play, the first match is always going to be tough for us when we’re transitioning from altitude to sea level,” BYU head coach Brad Pearce said. “However, we wanted a match under our belt before playing San Diego as we’re both undefeated in conference play. We give credit to Irvine who played well today on their home courts. We’re already looking forward to San Diego—we’ll play better tomorrow.”
BYU (14-4) fought hard in doubles but ultimately fell short to UC Irvine (12-8).
