WICHITA FALLS, Texas - Abilene Christian's 14th-ranked men's tennis team suffered its fourth-straight loss and dropped to .500 on the season at 10-10 following its 5-4 defeat at Lone Star Conference rival and 31st-ranked Midwestern State (8-4, 1-1).
The Wildcats played today's match without the services of their No. 1 competitor and all-America Hans Hach, and the entire lineup was move up one spot as a result even as sophomore Borja Cortes and senior Alfredo Desiati continue to work their way back from early-season injuries.
ACU lost its two points in doubles at the No. 1 and 2 positions. The duo of Cortes and freshman Jason Proctor lost a nail biter at the top spot, 9-8 (5) to the team of Luke Joyce and Colby Meeks minutes after MSU tied the score at 1-1 when Franko Siljeg and Kyle Davidson defeated Guilherme Gesser and Nicklas Wingord, 8-5.
The Wildcats' No. 3 tandem of Marco Bensley and Kyle Plum finished first after coasting past Kacper Boborykin and Tomas Grejtak by a score of 8-2.
With Hach missing from singles, Gesser ended up losing a competitive, 7-6, 6-1 decision to No. 39 Joyce in his season debut at the No. 1 spot. Gesser is only the third Wildcat to play at No. 1 this season, joining Hach (11-5) and Cortes (1-0).
Wingord, a freshman, won his match at No. 2 to improve to 4-0 at that position, but Proctor lost in three sets at No. 3 to Meeks and Cortes was upset at No. 4 by Siljeg, 7-6, 6-2.
Desiati and Bensley were victorious in their matches at No. 5 and 6, respectively, with each winning in straight sets.
The Wildcats return to action this weekend for matches at Texas, St. Mary's and Texas-San Antonio. ACU's match in Austin will be televised live on the Longhorn Network at 3 p.m. and replayed again at 9 p.m.
