The Idaho men’s tennis team split a weekend series by claiming a win over North Dakota Sunday after falling to Big Sky rival Northern Colorado Friday.
In singles play against Northern Colorado, the Vandals had strong performances from the team’s upperclassmen.
Notable singles wins came from senior Jackson Varney and sophomore Mark Kovacs. Both defeated their opponents handedly, only relenting three games between the two matches.
With two points from singles play, Idaho seemed to be a path to victory.
The Bears stormed back and took control of the match. Sophomore Felipe Fonesca put up a fight against Colorado’s Austin Mayo, but eventually fell in two close sets of 7-5 and 6-4.
