STOCKTON, Calif. – The Pacific Tigers took advantage of a depleted Portland men's tennis roster with a 4-1 West Coast Conference victory Sunday afternoon at Eve Zimmerman Tennis Center. Despite battling injuries and illness, the Pilots took the match down to the wire with a gutty performance.
Portland defaulted No. 3 doubles due to its limited roster, the Pilots pulled out 6-4 wins at the top two positions to steal the first point of the match. Freshman Sema Pankin and sophomore Tom Hann beat Tadiwa Chinamo and Akram El Sallaly at the top spot, while freshmen Issa Yoshida and Leo Hibi beat Ross Watson and Philip Hjorth at No.
