Cats capture 5-2 win
BOZEMAN, Montana – In rapid succession Joaquin Espinoza, Drew Brown and Alex Flink won singles matches to clinch Montana State's 5-2 Big Sky Conference men's tennis victory over Weber State on Saturday.
Â
After MSU captured the singles point, Portland State earned a win at No. 4 singles. Then the Cats took over, with Flink's 7-5, 7-5 win at No. 1 wrapping things up. Brown won 6-4, 6-3 at No. 2, and Espinoza 7-6, 6-2 at No. 3. The win was MSU's first league win of the season, and its second dual victory.
Â
"Alex and Drew really played well at both singles and doubles," Burnham said. Flink and Brown teamed for a 6-4 win at No. 1 doubles, and Christian Damgaard Qvist and Grant Wood earned a clinching 7-6 win at No. 3.
Â
With just two matches in the last three weeks, Burnham thought his team responded. "I thought we played with energy and showed positive effects of time off," he said.
Â
Montana State is right back at it on Sunday, hosting Northern Arizona at 2 pm.
