VANCOUVER, Wash. – The Portland State men's tennis team fell to 4-7 on the year after dropping a contest against the visiting Idaho Vandals at Club Green Meadows in Vancouver, Wash., on Saturday evening. Idaho took all nine matches they played between doubles and singles to hand the Viks their second-consecutive clean-sweep loss.

In doubles play it was the team of Cesar Torres and Ivan Krijanto who were the first to get on the board with a win, taking on Dillon Triance and Alec Marx, downing the PSU tandem, 8-4.

Brent Wheeler and Lukas Kortus were the next Viking entrants to fall at the No. 2 spot as the duo of Jose Bendeck and Cristobal Ramos Salzaar defeated the Viking team, 8-3.

The No. 1 team of Antoine Bechmann and Abhinav Mishra also put up a fight but ultimately fell to the Vandal team of Abid Akbar and Dmitry Perevoshchikov, 8-3.

With Idaho up 1-0, the Viks hoped singles could stop the bleeding but the Vandals kept on rolling.

First it was Akbar downing Stratton Gilmore, 6-1, 6-3 from the No. 2 spot, followed by Ramos upending Brent Wheeler from the No. 5 position, 6-1, 6-3, to make it 3-0.

The Vandals clinched the match shortly after as Perevoshchikov downed Bechmann in the No. 1 spot. Despite hanging tough with his Idaho opponent, Bechmann dropped the first set 7-5. In the second frame Perevoshchikov rolled through the stanza, defeating the Strasbourg, France native, 6-3.

While the Viks suffered losses on two more courts as Connor Gilmore and Lukas Kortus lost at the No. 3 and No. 6 spots, respectively, it appeared Mishra was putting up a fight on court No. 4. The junior bounced back after a rocky first set (6-3) to take the second by the same margin against his opponent, Bendeck. The third-set tiebreaker was also extremely close as Mishra was edged 10-8 as the Viks officially fell to the tune of 7-0.

The Viks will be back in action next Friday when the team competes against crosstown rival, Portland on March 1. The match is slated for 2 p.m.
