The New Mexico men’s tennis team suffered its first home loss of the season after battling for three and a half hours against Utah State on Friday, letting a 3-1 lead slip away.
Head coach Bart Scott said every team in the Mountain West is capable of winning on any given day.
He said Utah State is a feisty group that gets after their opponent, with a roster full of good players that compete very hard. Scott said it was just a tough, hard-nosed conference match against two really good teams.
“We respect all the teams we play, especially in our league,” Scott said.
