KALAMAZOO, Mich. - The Toledo men's tennis team faced a tough day of singles competition on the second day of play at the Mid-American Conference Invitational on Saturday in Kalamazoo, Mich.

"We had a lot of bright spots today, but definitely took our medicine."  said head coach Al Wermer. "We're excited to see how we finish up tomorrow. I think we'll be ready for a fight."

Junior Filip Zupancic defeated Binghamton's Alejandro Pena in a three-set thriller after falling 6-7 in the first set and bouncing back to take the second and third sets 6-3, 6-2 in the Flight 4 bracket. Zupancic later fell in another three-set battle to Northern Illionis' Shao Yu Yu (2-6, 6-3, 6-4).

In Flight 5, freshmen Max Skaer and Luis Kleinschnitz kicked the day off with wins. Skaer defeated Ball State's Alec Robillard in three sets, 6-1, 5-7, 6-4. Kleinschnitz posted a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Binghamton's Sebastian Quiros. Both freshmen suffered setbacks in the following round.
