BIRMINGHAM - The UAB men's tennis team fell to Lipscomb, 4-3, on Saturday at the UAB Campus Courts despite winning three singles matchups. The loss snaps a two-match winning streak for the Blazers.
Lipscomb (4-3, 0-0 ASUN) won the doubles point on courts one and three as Jorge Ortegon/Pedro Uribe won in the No. 1 position against Vojtech Podzemny/Daniel Janko, 7-5, before Pablo Caffarena/Maksim Bogdanovich bested Giovani Pasini/Parker Bradbary on court three.
In singles play, UAB (4-6, 0-2 C-USA) came out of the gate hot as Michal Lusovky got a quick 6-3, 6-3 victory over Oretegon to knot the match score at one. The Bisons responded with a court one win by Caffarena over Nikola Puric, 6-2, 6-4.
Lipscomb went up two as Bogdanovich overcame Thanos Spyropolous, 7-5, 7-6 on court three before UAB pulled to within one, 3-2, as Podzemny defeated Uribe on court four, 5-7, 6-4, 7-6.
Lipscomb clinched the match with a court five win as Non Garcia-Nieto bested Janko, 7-5, 7-5. Pasini won his match with Carlos Salas-Tulla on court six, 4-6, 7-6, 6-3, but it was too little to late for the Green and Gold.
UAB is now 6-1 against Lipscomb as the Bisons defeated the Blazers for the first time in program history.
