The No. 70 Pacific men’s tennis team had an up-and-down weekend on the road, starting with an upset win over the No. 27 UC Santa Barbara Gauchos on Saturday and ending with the Tigers being upset themselves by the unranked Cal Poly Mustangs on Sunday.
The Tigers won Saturday’s match against Santa Barbara in resilient fashion, recovering from a rough start in doubles competition to take the match, 4-3.
Pacific’s top doubles pairing of Sam Verbeek ’16 and Jose Chamba ’18 fell 6-1 to the Gauchos’ Nathan Eshmade and Miles Seemann to start the match, followed by a 6-4 loss by Bernardo Oliveira ’18 and Lance Ngo ’17 to their UCSB opponents, Andrew Riminton and Morgan Mays.
