Men's Tennis Falls to USF in AAC Semifinals

4.20.19 | Men's Tennis

ORLANDO, Fla.— Temple men's tennis (16-7, 5-2 AAC) looked to notch its second upset of the AAC tournament against No. 3 USF on Saturday morning, but had its championship run cut short by the Bulls. Competing in the program's first AAC semifinals, the Owls won the doubles point, but ultimately fell 4-1 to the Bulls.

Match Notes
> Temple earned the doubles point with wins on courts two and three. Eric Biscoveanu and Juan Araoz came out on top of USF's Jakub Wojcik and Ivan Yatsuk, 6-3, in the No. 2 spot. At third doubles, Uladzimir Dorash and Paolo Cucalon clinched the point with a 6-3 win over Chase Ferguson and Sergio Gomez Montesa.
> The Bulls secured the match with consecutive wins on courts five, three, one and four.
> At fifth singles, Gomez Montesa defeated Biscoveanu to tie the match, 1-1. Cucalon faced Pierre Luquet in the No. 3 spot, but Luquet got the best of the junior and gave USF a 2-1 advantage.
> Alberto Caceres Casas put on a valiant effort against No. 18 Alberto Barroso-Campos on court one, forcing the first set to a tiebreak. Ultimately, Barroso-Campos won the match in two sets.
> At fourth singles, Dorash battled Wojcik in a three-set contest. Dorash took the first set, but Wojcik rallied to win the match and clinch a berth to the finals.
