TUCSON, Ariz. - The Arizona Men's Tennis team was defeated by Arizona State Saturday afternoon, 4-2.

The Cats started off strong in Doubles with a dominant win on court two from Filip Malbasic and Alejandro Reguant. Arizona State then struck back by taking the match on court three and then clinching the Doubles point on court one that went to a tiebreaker, 7-6(8).

Arizona managed to grab a lead once they won on courts five and six in a quick two sets for both matches as Carlos Hassey and Jonas Maier grabbed a couple quick wins for the Wildcats, but the Sun Devils would go on to win the next three, clinching the match.
