No. 46 Utah State men's tennis (10-7, 1-0 MW) posted a 4-0 victory over Rice (5-11, 0-1 C-USA) on Friday in San Diego, California, in its second match at the San Diego Spring Classic.
"The guys responded well today and came out strong," head coach James Wilson said. "The doubles were very close, and we handled the pressure well. In singles, several spots went out and competed hard. Tomorrow, we will need to be tougher as a group."
In doubles, senior Andrew Nakajima and freshman Valdemar Holm won, 6-4, at the No. 2 spot against freshmen Jacob Eskeland and Conrad Russell.
