Blanked by the Cardinal
The Idaho men’s tennis team received a not-so-warm welcome from Stanford in the first round of the NCAA tournament. The Vandals fell to the Cardinal 4-0 May 12 in Phoenix, Arizona.
Stanford jumped out to an early lead following two wins in doubles competition.
In singles, junior Mark Kovacs fell 6-2, 6-3 to No. 11 Tom Fawcett. Sophomore Felipe Fonesca dropped his match in a tight contest against David Wilczynski 6-4, 7-6. Freshman Lucas Coutinho failed to secure a win during a tie-breaker against Brandon Sutter, giving Stanford the win.
