Jackets Upset HPU at PacWest Tennis Tourney (Apr. 21, 2005)

Laie, HI - Montana State-Billings upset Hawaii Pacific, 5-4, on Thursday at the Pacific West Conference Men's Tennis Tournament.  The Yellowjacket women fell 7-0 to the Sea Warriors.  The tournament continues on Friday. 

The Yellowjacket men claimed two of the doubles points, one on a default, and closed out the win with three singles victories, again picking up one of the wins by default.  Despite the closeness of the team score, none of the individual or doubles matches were close, with an 8-3 win at number two doubles by the Yellowjackets’ Paco Sanchez and Sergio Diaz being the closest doubles contest.  The Jackets picked up singles wins at No. 4 from Kellen Malone, No. 5 from Sean O’Daniel, and No. 6 from Seth Maristuen. 

Montana State-Billings will face UH-Hilo at noon Friday in the tournament's second round.

The Yellowjacket women quickly feel behind Hawaii Pacific with three doubles losses.  Four straight-set singles victories ended the match.  The Yellowjackets face top-ranked BYU-Hawaii in Friday’s 9:00 a.m. match.
