Toledo Falls to Buffalo in First Outdoor Match, 6-1

4/2/2017 5:37:00 PM | Men's Tennis

TOLEDO, Ohio – Senior Stjepan Sisko dominated at No. 1 singles but was the only Rocket to record a victory in Toledo's 6-1 loss to Buffalo (9-5, 4-0 MAC) on Sunday afternoon at the UT Tennis Courts. With the loss, UT falls to 9-11 on the season and 0-3 in the Mid-American Conference.

"We had a good spirit early both doubles and singles today but that faded on a couple courts as the match went on, which I didn't like to see," said head coach Al Wermer. "We need to turn around and re-gain our focus for our next matches coming up."

Buffalo jumped into a 1-0 lead by securing the doubles point. The Bulls then went on to power through five singles victories to seal in the win.

Sisko defeated Buffalo's top player, Hao Sheng Koay, in straight sets, 6-0, 6-4.

Freshman Thawin Suksathaporn topped Eathan Nittolo, 6-4, in the opening set of sixth singles. However, Nittolo responded with a pair of 6-1 set wins to claim the match.

The Rockets will return to the court next weekend with a pair of home matches against Ball State and Northern Illinois.
