History <\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

ARLINGTON, Texas \u2013 UT Arlington men’s tennis dropped its second match in three days, falling by a 5-2 margin to the Lamar Cardinals. UTA (0-7) had opportunities in a number of third-set matches, but couldn’t convert enough into points.<\/p>\n

Lamar (6-8) was given a leg up in doubles play as the Mavericks didn’t have a team competing on Court 3, meaning the Cardinals needed to simply win either of Court 1 or Court 2 to take the doubles point.\u00a0<\/p>\n

UTA, however, nearly upended Lamar. The Mavericks Court 2 duo of Sa\u00fal Berdullas Calvi\u00f1o and Finbar McGarvey<\/a> scored a quick 6-1 win, leaving the point up to the decision on Court 1.<\/p>\n

The Cardinals’ team of Leon Nickel and Maxwell Lindstedt faced UTA’s team of Yazid Lahjomri<\/a> and Ellison Minnaar<\/a>. The bout was a dead heat and needed tiebreakers to be decided. It was there that Nickel and Lindstedt pulled away, winning tiebreakers 7-3 and allowing Lamar to escape with the doubles point.<\/p>\n

Entering singles play, the Mavericks ceded another point on Court 6 without a player to compete. That left little margin for error and the Cardinals took advantage.<\/p>\n

Vicente Monge picked up another point for Lamar on Court 4 in the only singles tilt that didn’t go to a decisive third set, making it 3-0. On Court 5, Louis Drapeau overcame a 7-5 first set loss with 6-0 and 6-1 wins in the final two sets, defeating Novak Ivanovic<\/a> to pick up the Cardinals fourth point and clinch the match.<\/p>\n

UTA did pick up wins on Court 1 and Court 2. Berdullas Calvi\u00f1o lost his opening set to Lindstedt in tiebreakers, but rallied to win the next two \u2014 6-3 and 6-2 \u2014 to pick up the win on Court 2.<\/p>\n

Lahjomri knocked off Nickel 7-6 (7-1) in tiebreakers in his first set before dropping the second by a 6-3 margin. The junior shrugged off the defeat with a 6-4 win in the third set on Court 1, ending the match on a high note for UTA.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Mavericks look to rebound with a midweek tilt against UTSA. The match takes place at 11 a.m. Thursday at the UTSA Tennis Center in San Antonio.<\/p>\n
