SAN DIEGO, Calif. - The No. 68 University of San Diego men's tennis team (7-5, 3-0 WCC) lost 7-0 in a hard-fought battle to No. 2 Oklahoma (14-1) Sunday afternoon at the Skip and Cindy Hogan Tennis Center.
In a high intensity doubles contest, the Toreros were barely edged out by the Sooners.

In singles play, the Toreros competed strong on all six courts. While the Sooners extended their lead with a win at the No. 2 and 4 spots, the remaining four matches proved to be extremely tight. Sooners' No 43 Andrew Harris defeated Kalaydjian 7-6(5), 6-3 to clinch the match, while Fitzgerald fell to Nick Papac 6-4, 6-4.
The last matches of the day would go to three sets: Sooners' No. 2 Axel Alvarez Llamas defeated No. 59 Spinosa 6-7(4), 6-2, 1-0(0) and Austin Siegel beat freshman Geoffrey Fosso 6-7(3), 6-3, 1-0(6).
