No. 7 Toreros Trounce Gaels on Senior Day

San Diego defeats St. Mary's 4-0 to remain undefeated in 2025 WCC play

SAN DIEGO — No. 7 San Diego Men's Tennis (18-3, 3-0 WCC) continued it's dominant 2025 campaign on Saturday afternoon with a controlling 4-0 victory over Saint Mary's at the Skip and Cindy Hogan Tennis Center to remain undefeated in West Coast Conference play. 

The Toreros' conference victory started in the doubles point, when Savriyan Danilov and Adrien Berrut defeated their opponents 6-3 in No. 2 doubles. The third-ranked pairing of Oliver Tarvet and Stian Klaassen then sealed the doubles point for USD with a 6-3 victory of their own on court one. 

On his senior day, Blake Kasday was the first to strike in singles for USD, as he took down his opponent in No. 6 singles with ease, by scores of 6-0, and 6-2, the largest margin of victory in his five-year career at USD. Berrut then followed with a strong 6-2, 6-2 win in No. 4 singles to make it 3-0 in favor of San Diego. 

Danilov and Klaassen were each one game away from clinching their respective matches when Berrut extended the lead to three, but Danilov ultimately finished the quickest, defeating his opponent 6-2, 6-4, to clinch the match for the Toreros and cut the remaining three matches short. 

The Toreros will be back in action tomorrow, when they continue West Coast Conference play by hosting No. 63 Pacific. First serve against the Tigers at Skip and Cindy Hogan Tennis Center is set for 12 p.m.
