FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (January 30, 2020) – Men's tennis earns their first victory at home today after winning a 5-2 match over Grand Canyon University this afternoon. The Lumberjacks also took on Mesa Community College this morning as an exhibition, scoring 7-0 over the Thunderbirds.

Duo Chris Steele and Alex Groves set the 'Jacks up to take the doubles point when they finished their set first, going 6-3 over GCU's Valentin Lang and Freddie Grant. Eban Straker-Meads and Facundo Tumosa finished quickly after but could not find the same luck Groves and Steele had, falling to the Lopes' Lorenzo Fucile and Can Franke to tie doubles 1-1. Joachim Schaefer and Daniel Dillon clinched the point after 6-2 triumph over Grand Canyon's David Weber and Justin Cvitanovic. 
 
Straker-Meads finished up his singles set quickly with a 6-3 win over Fucile, earning the 'Jacks their second point due to Fucile retiring. Schaefer was forced to end his match against Weber, retiring after the 1-6 set score. 
 
On courts two, three, four and six, the 'Jacks fought relentlessly in back and forth matches to earn their victory.
 
Tumosa fell to Lang 5-7 in the first set but had a strong comeback of 6-1 in the second. Tumosa ultimately lost the singles point after finishing the third set 3-6.
