LAS VEGAS, Nev. \u2014 Ivan Savkin’s<\/a> run at the Mountain West Fall Championships presented by Palm Casino Resort came to an end Saturday when the seventh-seeded Aggie was defeated (6-3, 6-4) in a semifinal by sixth-seeded Andres Loizas of Grand Canyon.<\/p>\n

“Ivan had a really good run this week and has played really well all fall,” head coach Eric Steidlmayer<\/a> said. “His growth and maturity are a great example for the entire group.”<\/p>\n

Savkin and Loizas stayed on serve in the opening set until Loizas broke Savkin in the eighth game and then closed out the set by winning his own service game.<\/p>\n

In the second set, Loizas used a pair of service breaks to go ahead, 5-1, before Savkin won three straight games including a break to get to 5-4 before Loizas closed out the set by holding his own service for the 6-4 win.<\/p>\n

Loizas will face unseeded Alberto Perez of New Mexico in Sunday’s final after Perez knocked off top-seeded Marko Maksimovic of UNLV in three sets in Saturday’s other semifinal (7-5, 0-6, 6-2).<\/p>\n
