TUCSON - The 10th-ranked Arizona men's tennis program won its fourth consecutive match against Arizona State on Sunday, defeating the Sun Devils 4-2.

Play was tight across all three doubles courts with the squads trading sets until the Cats went up 3-1 on court three and never looked back. Sasha Rozin and Gustaf Strom allowed Roi Ginat and Daniel Phillips to win only one more game after taking the 3-1 lead, defeating the Sun Devils duo 6-2 for Arizona's first win of the day.

The remaining two doubles courts both went to tiebreakers, and Arizona was able to clinch the doubles point with a 7-6(3) win by No. 17 Colton Smith and Jay Friend over Bor Artnak and Max McKennon on court one. Herman Hoeyeraal and Eric Padgham were locked in a tiebreaker battle when doubles was clinched, but the duo led 6-5 in the tiebreaker when the match was abandoned.

The Cats jumped out to early leads on five singles courts with Hoeyeraal, Strom, Friend, Christensen and Lagaev all recording first-set wins.

Hoeyeraal made quick work of his victory, taking down Ginat in a 6-1, 6-4 decision for his 16th win of dual match play. 

Arizona State got on the board with a straight-set victory on court one when No. 8 Murphy Cassone defeated No. 14 Smith 6-3, 6-3.

Casper Christensen put the Wildcats one point away from clinching the team victory with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Jacob Bullard, but No. 97 Artnak got Arizona State another team point with a 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 win over No. 31 Friend.

No. 73 Strom clinched the victory for Arizona, gutting out a 6-1, 6-7(3), 6-4 win over Max McKennon. 

No. 10 Arizona will return to action Sunday, April 14 at 1:00 p.m. MST as it welcomes Utah to the LaNelle Robson Tennis Center for its final home match of the regular season.
