#22 Men’s Tennis Defeats #23 Pepperdine, 4-1

SAN DIEGO – The No. 22 University of San Diego men's tennis team stayed perfect in WCC play on Saturday, defeating #23 Pepperdine, 4-1.
 
The Waves edged USD in doubles, clinching at No. 1 by a score of 7-6 (7-5), but San Diego bounced back in singles play.
 
David Norfeldt cruised to a 6-3, 6-1 victory at No. 4, and Sacchitt Sharrma quickly followed with a 6-1, 6-4 win at No. 3. After August Holmgren won his 15th straight singles match at No. 1, Will Davies clinched the win with a comeback 1-6, 6-1, 6-1 win at No. 6.

"What a day to be a Torero!" said head coach Ryan Keckley. "The crowd and energy on senior day was electric to celebrate these amazing seniors. Proud of those five guys and proud of this program for our efforts against our biggest rival Pepperdine. Pepperdine is a well-established and well-coached program and we had to scratch and claw to find four points today. Our seniors (August, Gui, David, Alex and Will) have paved the way for this team this spring, and they will continue to lead this group in the postseason."
 
San Diego improves to 18-3 (7-0 WCC) on the season.
