Pilots Fall to Wichita State to close ITA Kickoff Weekend

FORT WORTH, Texas – Sema Pankin picked up a win at No. 1 singles, but the Portland Pilots dropped a 4-1 decision to the Wichita State Shockers in an ITA Kickoff Weekend regional consolation match at the Bayard H. Friedman Tennis Center on Sunday.

"Rough day at the office today," Portland head coach Aaron Gross said. "We let the doubles points slip away and then lost a couple of close ones in singles that could have gone either way. Sema did a great job of bouncing back from yesterday."

Pankin defeated Orel Ovil by a 6-3, 6-3 margin to pick up his first dual win of the season.
