Box Score SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Freshman
Sasha Krasnov earned his first collegiate dual-match win but it wasn't enough as UC Irvine suffered a 6-1 loss to Utah Saturday at George E. Eccles Tennis Center.
Â
In just his third dual-match as an Anteater, Krasnov defeated the Utes' Slava Shainyan in three sets, 6-3, 6-7, 10-3, on court three.
Â
The pair of
Luca Marquard and
Mason Hansen got UCI off to a good start winning No. 1 doubles by a score of 6-3 against Randy Cory/Russel Benkaim. However, the 'Eaters fell on court two and three to ultimately drop the doubles point.
Â
Utah kept the momentum in singles, winning the first five matches before Krasnov got UCI on the board.
