HOW IT HAPPENED

• In a fourth-straight day of match play, the Toreros headed to Stockton, Calif., where they found some early success in doubles.
• All three pairs emerged with early breaks, as the Toreros promptly took the doubles point.
• Sacchitt Sharrma and Iiro Vasa earned a ranked win at the top spot, downing No. 53 Peter Alam and Justas Trainauskas in a 6-3 decision.
• However, the Tigers rallied in singles, taking four of the first six sets.
• Despite a dominant showing from Stian Klaassen, who breezed to a 6-1, 6-0 win, the Toreros found themselves playing from behind in a number of matches.
• While the Tigers got a win on court one, Vasa was able to rally from a first set loss to take the match and put San Diego up 3-1.
• However, the Tigers were able to secure a pair of victories just two minutes later, forcing Savriyan Danilov into a decisive match.
• Danilov had recovered from dropping the opening set to take the second set and force a third.
