Lopes blanked by Sun Devils in Tempe
The Grand Canyon men's tennis team lost 4-0 to Arizona State in Tempe.
The Lopes (0-3) saw strong play from the top doubles position and by Julian Mueller in singles but were unable to grab wins.
In doubles the Sun Devils (1-0) took the point with wins at Nos. 2 and 3. Senior Valentin Lang made his return to the lineup with freshman Julian Mueller at court two after missing the opening weekend. Senior Lorenzo Fucile and freshman Can Franke pushed ASU's top pair Andre Bolla and Tim Ruehl to 5-4 before their match was abandoned.
In singles Arizona State came out strong winning five of the six opening sets with Mueller prevailing at No. 4 winning 6-2. The freshman from Germany would have his match abandoned while fellow freshman Laurent Magne finished his singles match tied 5-5 in the second set.
ASU would win the final three points at the top three positions. Fucile was up early at No. 1 in the first set but lost 6-3, 6-0 while Freddie Grant in his first singles match of the season lost in straight sets.
