The Grand Canyon University tennis teams split their matches with Fresno Pacific, played on the campus of Azusa Pacific in Azusa, Calif.
“We had a hard fought match today with FPU,” said head coach Greg Prudhomme. “The ladies did a great job taking a 2-1 lead after doubles and we competed well at 1-4 singles. On the men’s side it was the first time in program history that we have beaten Fresno Pacific. They were in the finals of the NAIA championships last year and it says a lot about our guys coming back from a loss to them just two weeks ago.”
The men, ranked 13th in the nation, won 5-3. FPU entered the match ranked 12th in D-II.
Arjun Bal won a tough three setter at No. 4 singles, winning 6-4 in the third set. Andrew Mayer picked up a critical straight-set win at No. 6 singles.
The women fell 6-3, dropping their overall record to 6-3.
Frederique Van de Velde picked up a pair of wins to lead the Antelopes. She won 6-0, 6-0 at No. 5 singles and teamed with Kaila Knopf to win 8-6 at No. 3 doubles.
The men and women will remain in Azusa where they will face Azusa Pacific at 10 a.m. on Saturday.
