LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Utah State men's tennis (10-5, 1-1 MW) wrapped up its week of play on the road Saturday, falling to UNLV, 4-2. 

Utah State started out strong, making quick work of the Rebels in doubles play. Redshirt freshman Jack Ninteman and sophomore Roko Savin swept Jordan Sauer and Milos Dabic, 6-0, at the No. 3 spot. Senior Felipe Acosta and sophomore Javier Ruiz then clinched the point with a 6-3 win over Eric Samuelsson and Clayton Alenik in the No. 1 position. Fifth-year Sergiu Bucur and redshirt freshman Souf El Mesbahi were ahead, 4-2, when their match was called off.

The Rebels were quick to bounce back, winning the first three singles matches in straight sets. Savin then picked up a win for the Aggies in the No. 4 spot, defeating Dabic in three sets (6-4, 2-6, 6-1). UNLV went on to clinch the match with a three-set win in the No. 3 spot, leaving the No. 5 singles match unfinished.
