LAS VEGAS – The Grand Canyon men's tennis fell to UNLV 4-1 on Friday in Las Vegas.

In doubles, the Lopes clinched the point with wins at the bottom two courts.

At the top court, sophomore Jonathan Da Silva and freshman David Wekesa had their match left unfinished trailing 6-5.
In singles, UNLV took the first set on four courts and parlayed those into straight-set wins to clinch the team win. The Lopes fell in the top three courts to give UNLV a 3-1 lead and the match was clinched with a 6-3, 7-5 win over Ghedin.
The other two matches were left unfinished with GCU battling on each court. Wekesa was up in his second set, 4-3, on Court 5 after winning his first set in a tiebreaker while Rosati was up in his third set 3-1 at Court 4.
