MORAGA, Calif. – The 36th-ranked UC Irvine men's tennis team extended its win streak to three with a 4-0 victory over Saint Mary's Saturday at Timothy Korth Tennis Complex.

Sohrob Amiryavari and Max Fardanesh then secured the 1-0 lead with a 7-6 (7-5) win over Ellison Greco/Carlos Ramos Membriv at No. 3.
