March 18, 2018 | Men's Tennis
INDIAN WELLS, Calif. (March 18, 2018)– USF (6-10) completed its California trip with a 4-1 loss to No. 43 Loyola Marymount on Sunday at the BNP Paribas Collegiate Challenge.
Sophomore Jakub Wojcik won his second consecutive match and fourth of his last six matches with a 6-4, 6-2 triumph over Lucas Moreno Loyola Marymount posted its wins at the 2, 3 and 6 positions.
The Bulls finished 2-2 on the road trip posting wins over Pepperdine and Purdue. USF opened play at Indian Wells with a heartbreaking 4-3 loss to No. 26 Baylor in which they saved four match points and then had four match points of their own but could not convert. They came back the next evening and captured four singles matches after dropping the doubles point against Purdue.
Quotable
Head coach Ashley Fisher on the match…
"Give Loyola credit for coming out very aggressively and hitting some big shots. I think we didn't give our opponents enough respect and they took advantage of it. This trip showed us what we can do at our best and what can happen when we're not committed to competing unconditionally."
