San Diego Spring Classic Day One

SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- Day 1 of the San Diego Spring Classic ended in a 4-2 defeat for the Wildcats at the hands of Texas Tech.
 
The Red Raiders started strong in doubles play, with Jackson Cobb and Alex Sendegeya defeating Carlos Hassey and Jonas Maier by a score of 6-2. Artem Kapshuk and Ilgiz Valiev clinched the doubles point with a 6-4 win over Alejandro Reguant and Filip Malbasic. The final doubles match went unfinished.
 
Texas Tech won the first singles match, but Malbasic got the Cats on the board next with a 6-2, 6-0 victory against Artem Kapshuk. Reguant evened the score up at 2 with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Matheus Leite. Mylnikov and Sendegeya followed up with wins on courts one and three for Texas Tech, clinching the match 4-2.
 
"Filip played a really solid match for us today," said head coach Clancy Shields. "He's improved tremendously in his mental approach and playing one point at a time. As a group, I thought we competed well in spots. To win these matches you have to play a complete match from start to finish. We have another opportunity tomorrow to work on playing complete matches from start to finish."
 
The Wildcats are set to play San Diego State at 10 a.m. MST tomorrow morning.
