LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Maxim Groysman earned a win at No. 5 singles, but the Portland men's tennis team dropped a 6-1 decision at perennial power UCLA on Saturday at the Los Angeles Tennis Center.
Groysman defeated Jeffrey Fradkin 5-7, 6-1, 10-7 in a three-set super tiebreaker.
The Bruins controlled much of the match as the Pilots were without graduate student Eleftherios Neos, who competed this weekend in doubles for his native Cyprus in a Davis Cup match at Tunisia.
UCLA raced to the doubles point with wins at the No. 2 and No. 3 positions and then won the other five singles positions in straight sets.
