History <\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n LOS ANGELES \u2014 Max Wuelfing<\/a> remained perfect\u00a0on\u00a0the season and LMU’s doubles unit once again set the tone as the Lions defeated UC Irvine 4-3 Saturday at the LMU Tennis Center in Los Angeles, Calif.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The No. 55 Lions (8-1) secured the doubles point behind a pair of victories on courts one and three, with court two left unfinished. Cyrus Ahmad<\/a> and Darius\u00a0Tamaddon\u00a0struck first, clinching the point with a 6-4 win over Sohrob\u00a0Amiryavari\u00a0and Alex Guajardo on court three. The No. 1 tandem of Alex Padro Parra<\/a> and Wuelfing followed with a 7-5 victory over Max\u00a0Fardanesh\u00a0and Rohan Sachdev on court one. Cesar Cruz<\/a> and Emil Kindhult<\/a>were locked in a battle with Tal Goodman and Hiroki Sakagawa on court two when\u00a0play\u00a0was called.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The doubles victory extended a remarkable run for LMU, which has dropped just one\u00a0doubles\u00a0point all season long.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Tamaddon, meanwhile, has quietly\u00a0emerged\u00a0as a doubles\u00a0force,\u00a0Saturday’s win marked his fourth consecutive doubles victory,\u00a0accomplished\u00a0with two different partners this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n In singles, LMU’s big three kept their momentum going. Padro Parra was first to finish, dispatching Rui Ning Huang 6-1, 6-4 to extend his winning streak to six consecutive matches. Cruz was next, rolling past\u00a0Fardanesh 6-2, 6-2 to push his own winning streak to three\u00a0straight.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Wuelfing, as has become routine, delivered\u00a0at\u00a0No. 1 singles to put the match out of reach. The senior knocked off Hiroki Sakagawa 6-2, 4-6, 6-4 to improve to 8-0 overall and 6-0 at the top spot,\u00a0remaining\u00a0the only unbeaten player in the Lions’ lineup.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n UC Irvine picked up points at No. 4, No.\u00a03\u00a0and No. 6 singles.\u00a0Amiryavari\u00a0handled Kuba Hrynkiewicz<\/a>\u00a06-2, 6-2 at No. 4, Goodman outlasted\u00a0Kindhult\u00a07-6, 2-6, 6-1 at No. 3, and Greg Gamal edged Cyrus Ahmad<\/a> 2-6, 7-5, 6-2 at No. 6 to make it a one-point final.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
