Wekesa picks up 2nd straight singles win in 4-1 loss
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – The Grand Canyon men's tennis team wrapped up its two-match road trip with a 4-1 loss to Cal Poly on Sunday.
The Lopes (3-10) lost a close doubles point and picked up a singles win in the match.

The GCU duo lost 7-6 (7-4) and the Mustangs clinched the point. Graduate Gerhard Sullwald and sophomore David Wekesa were tied at 6-6 in their match on court one but it was left unfinished.
In singles, Cal Poly picked up its first win over Sullwald who retired at Court 1 after trailing 5-0 in the first set. Meanwhile, Wekesa picked up a point for the Lopes with a 6-3, 6-2 win at Court 3. The GCU sophomore now leads the team with a 5-4 singles record thanks to two road wins on the weekend.
