TEMPE, Ariz. – Utah State men's tennis (7-4) wrapped up its four-match road stretch Sunday, as it fell to No. 19 Arizona State, 4-1. 

Arizona State made quick work of doubles play, earning the point with wins at the Nos. 1 and 2 spots. The third doubles match was left unfinished, with fifth-year Sergiu Bucur and redshirt freshman Souf El Mesbahi tied with their opponent at 4-4. 

The Sun Devils added to their lead with a fast win at No. 2 singles, but the remaining five Aggies put up a fight in each of their matches. Sophomore Roko Savin earned the sole point for USU, defeating George Stoupe in straight sets (6-4, 7-6) at the No. 4 spot. The final four matches went to three sets, but the Sun Devils clinched the match with a win in the No. 3 position, leaving the fifth and sixth spots unfinished. 

The Aggies return home for a pair of matches this week, hosting Saint Mary's on Thursday, March 25, at 11 a.m., then Montana State on Sunday, March 28, at 5 p.m.
