Box Score Colorado Springs, Colo. – Utah State men's tennis performed well at the Air Force-hosted Bedford Cup this past weekend, highlighted by freshman Eliot Nobel, who posted a 2-1 record in singles play and a 2-1 record in doubles competition with sophomore teammate Keanu Rigby.
 
The Aggies faced competition from Boise State, New Mexico State, BYU, Idaho, Northern Arizona, Montana, Nevada and Denver throughout the weekend.
 
Rigby highlighted the Aggies' efforts during the first day of the tournament with a three-set victory in the East bracket's round of 16.
 
On day two, freshmen Dmitri Goubin and Nobel secured singles wins, with Goubin claiming a three-set victory and Nobel winning in straight sets. Rigby, however, fell in his singles quarterfinals match.
 
On the final day, Utah State recorded two more wins, one in singles and one in doubles. Nobel earned a hard-fought singles victory in three sets, while Rigby and Nobel teamed up to win their doubles match 6-4.
 
The Aggies will split their squad next week, competing at both the Idaho State Invitational from Wednesday through Friday, Oct. 2-4, and at the Mountain West Conference Individuals in Las Vegas, Nevada, from Wednesday through Saturday, Oct. 2-5.
