The Pacific men's tennis team faced a tough weekend, losing both home matches against Pepperdine and LMU, each with a score of 4-1. Despite strong doubles performances from Jonty Giesen and Nico Rating, who remained unbeaten in conference play, the Tigers struggled in singles matchups, losing key leads. The team concluded its home schedule with a season record of 7-12 and a conference record of 1-2, setting the stage for four upcoming away matches to round out the regular season.

By the Numbers
  • Giesen and Rating achieved a 4-3 season record together in doubles.
  • Zuckerman is on a six-match winning streak in doubles play.
State of Play
  • The Tigers secured doubles points in both matches but faltered in singles, losing critical matches.
  • Terence Das and Riley Hillenbrand were honored on Senior Day before the Saturday match against LMU.
What's Next

The team will travel to play four straight road matches, starting with a game against Santa Clara on Thursday, followed by a match in San Diego on Saturday.

Bottom Line

While the doubles teams showed promise, the Tigers must address their singles performance to improve their chances in the remaining matches, as they aim to recover from this tough weekend.
