Loic Van Zeggelaar picks up first singles win
The Grand Canyon men's tennis team dropped the season opening match to BYU on Saturday afternoon on the road.
Â
BYU (1-0) took the early lead after doubles taking the point with wins on courts one and three. GCU (0-1)Â had three newcomers in the lineup with Jiri Novak teaming up with Valentin Lang at the top spot and Wolmar Boris-Moller and Loic Van Zeggelaar playing on court three.
Â
The Cougars continued to play strong into singles taking first sets on five of the six courts. Van Zeggelaar was the only Lope to win his first set, winning 7-5, in route to a match win with a 6-4 second set win at No. 6.
Â
Despite the lopsided final score, the Lopes rebounded with close second set scorelines in singles. Both Novak and Boris-Moller each pushed their sets to tiebreakers while Freddie Grant at No. 4 lost his second set 6-4.
Â
The Lopes will look to rebound tomorrow with a match at Utah, the first of three Pac-12 schools on the schedule. The match will begin at noon and live streaming will be available on Pac-12.com.
