HOW IT HAPPENED

• For the second straight match, the Toreros were locked in tight doubles matches, but were able to secure the point.

• Singles got off to a hot start, as the Toreros took five of the six opening sets.
• Sacchitt Sharrma was able to secure the first match in a 6-3, 6-1 decision, but rain rolled in to force the match into a delay, with San Diego up 2-0.
• Both teams were able to resume play shortly thereafter and the Golden Bears earned the first match out of the delay and cut the deficit to 2-1.
• With more rain rolling in, the Toreros increased the lead to 3-1 on a Stian Klaassen win.
• The rain began to increase and with just minutes remaining before courts would become unplayable, the Toreros had two match points at No. 2 and No. 3 singles.
• In the end, Ruland was able to secure the win that sealed the match before the rain closed in, while Vasa led 6-5 in his tiebreaker.
