Sacramento State dropped to 10-11 overall and 1-5 in the Big Sky Conference. Montana, the conference&#8217;s second place team, improved to 12-7 and 5-1 in league.<\/p>\n<p>In reality, this morning&#8217;s match did not mean much in the conference standings for Sacramento State. The top six teams in the eight-member conference qualify for the Big Sky Tournament in Phoenix on April 23-25.<\/p>\n<p>The Hornets have just one match left in the regular season, and its the biggest of the season. That will come on Thursday at home vs. Portland State at 1 p.m. Should the Hornets win that match, they would assume the No. 6 seed at the Big Sky Tournament. The loser of Thursday&#8217;s match will see its season come to an end.<\/p>\n<p>Sacramento State&#8217;s singles lineup today featured three freshmen and three sophomores, as the Hornets were playing their final regular season road match. Sophomore <a href=\"https:\/\/hornetsports.com\/sports\/mens-tennis\/roster\/miles-whitehead\/10601\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"10601\" target=\"_blank\">Miles Whitehead<\/a> took his match to a third set super tiebreak at No. 6 before falling. <a href=\"https:\/\/hornetsports.com\/sports\/mens-tennis\/roster\/nick-bowles\/10597\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"10597\" target=\"_blank\">Nick Bowles<\/a> lost at No. 2 by a 7-5, 7-5 score, and saw his five-match singles winning streak come to a close.<\/p>\n<p>The Hornets have been good at home, as the team is 7-4 on campus. Portland State (6-13, 2-4) will be seeking its first road win of the season (0-12).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; &#13; Next Match: Portland State 4\/16\/2026 | 1:00 pm &#13; Apr. 16 (Thu) \/ 1:00 pm&#13;&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":600212,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[442],"tags":[49,48,82,593],"class_list":{"0":"post-600211","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-tennis"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/600211","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=600211"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/600211\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/600212"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=600211"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=600211"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=600211"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
