No. 21 Arizona Wildcats Sweep NAU Men’s Tennis 7-0 in Doubleheader

TUCSON, Ariz. (February 19, 2021) – In a Friday doubleheader against the Arizona Wildcats, Northern Arizona men's tennis recorded two 7-0 losses. Despite the score, the Lumberjacks were able to win on one doubles court.

Going up against the No. 21 school in the country, the Lumberjacks challenged themselves on the courts today. With one doubles court win in the morning, NAU remained tenacious throughout the rest of the sets. Northern Arizona pairing Maciej Ziomber and Daniel Dillon on court three upped Arizona's Hiroki Sakagawa and Jett Middleton 6-4. 

Many of the Lumberjacks did not let Arizona win without a fight. Facundo Tumosa, in both his singles matches on the first court, the junior went 6-2 and 7-6 against Arizona's Alejandro Reguant in the morning and 6-3, 6-4 in the afternoon against Jonas Ziverts. 

Freshman Dominik Buzonics also fought hard for his only second Lumberjack appearance, pushing the 10 a.m. singles match into a 7-6 tiebreaker and 7-5 second set. In the afternoon match, Buzonics went 6-2, 6-3 against Carlos Hassey on court three. 

With the match against Texas Tech being canceled due to the inclement weather in the south, Northern Arizona will have approximately two weeks to train until its first home doubleheader against Western New Mexico on March 6.
