3 THINGS TO KNOW
- WAC IN 2025: With just four WAC teams in men's tennis this season, no regular season championship will be awarded. There will still be a tournament at the end of the season to award the WAC Tournament title and an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. Seattle U will still travel to Phoenix for a match in the regular season, but it will not count toward a WAC record.
- CLOSE CALLS: The Lopes took both of last week's matches on the final court, beating New Mexico State and LMU 4-3. Graduate Matteo Lugari clinched the NMSU match on Court 4, and sophomore Brice Patoux clinched Sunday's LMU match on Court 2.
- WAC RECOGNITION: After a successful week to start the year, three Lopes were recognized by the conference for their efforts. Sophomore Nikita Volonski received the WAC Singles Player of the Week, while seniors Jonathan Da Silva and Paolo Rosati were named WAC Doubles Players of the Week.
SCOUTING WESTERN NEW MEXICO
Western New Mexico makes its season debut on Friday in Phoenix. The Mustangs went 5-17 last season. GCU holds a 15-9 all-time record over WNMU and have won the last six meetings.WHAT'S NEXT?
The Lopes head to California for matches at UC Davis and Santa Clara on Feb. 1 and 2, respectively.
