MAVERICK TENNIS FALLS TO No. 13 TCU

Feb. 12, 2004

FORT WORTH, Texas - No. 13 TCU handed The University of Texas at Arlington men's tennis squad a 7-0 loss in Fort Worth Wednesday afternoon. TCU improves to 2-0 on the year, while the Mavericks fall to 0-2.

The Horned Frogs took the lead early after sweeping doubles action to earn the first point. Although the Frogs had already claimed the doubles point with victories at No. 2 and No. 3 doubles, UTA's Niels Buksik and Nathan McGregor almost posted an upset at No. 1 singles, but dropped a 9-8 (2) decision to No. 19 Rafael Abreu and Fabrizio Sestini.

UTA's David Corrie, ranked No. 21 by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association, was upset by No. 44 Alex Menichini, 6-2, 6-2 at the No. 1 position, while Nathan McGregor dropped a 6-4, 6-3 decision to No. 75 Sestini. At the No. 3 position, Sandy Farquharson dropped a 7-6, 6-4 decision to Hector Almada, while Niels Buksik, the only Maverick to force a third set, fell 7-6, 3-6, 6-1 to Jacopo Tezza. Ian Vazquez-Rowe and Petri van Rensburg each dropped straight set decisions at No. 5 and No. 6 singles, respectively.

Texas-Arlington will return to the court Feb. 13-15 at the UNLV Invitational. The Mavericks will face Idaho State Friday afternoon and move on to play the winner of the Utah State-New Mexico State match.
