Yellowjackets Fall to Whitman, 0-9 (Mar. 28, 2005)

BOISE, ID -   The Montana State University-Billings men’s tennis team traveled to Boise, Idaho March 23-26 to compete against an array of nationally ranked tennis teams from across the country.  In the Jackets second match of the day, they came up short against a strong division three team from Walla Walla, Washington falling 0-9.

After playing the morning match against New Mexico State indoors due to inclement weather, the Jackets found themselves back outside under clearing skies to take on the Fighting Missionaries of Whitman College. 

“Sergio Diaz played well during the match, as did Ryan Smith,” said head coach, Jerry Peach.  “They gave the team a look at how to raise the competitive spirit as they worked to gain team points.  However, Whitman was too strong of a team for us today,” Peach added.

The Yellowjackets will have Thursday off and will resume match play against Northern Arizona on Friday.
