Buffalo, NY – The Toledo men's tennis team (7-14) lost its fourth Mid-American Conference match to Buffalo, 5-2, on Saturday afternoon at the Miller Tennis Center.

"Our doubles showed promise because we got going at No. 2. This is a team full of fighters. We're going to do very well in the end," said head coach Al Wermer.

Buffalo's Pablo Alvarez and Amar Hromic defeated Stjepan Sisko and Luka Vitosevic, 6-1, at No. 1 doubles. Omar Espinosa and Danilo Pejovic answered back with a 6-4 defeat over Akhil Mehta and Tony Miller. Ethan Nittolo and Sergio Arevalillo clinched the doubles point for the Bulls with a 7-5 victory over Vince Anzalone and Serjen Olmedo.
