IRVINE, Calif. - UC Irvine men's tennis swept UC Riverside, 7-0, in Big West action Monday at Anteater Tennis Stadium.
The 'Eaters, who won their third match in a row, improved to 10-6 overall and 2-0 in conference. UCI secured its sixth-straight 10-win season.
UC Irvine got out to a quick start in doubles as Max Fardanesh and Rohan Sachdev took a 5-0 lead at No. 1. The Highlanders' (2-18, 0-2 Big West) duo of Lucas Ibarrando Suarez/Lucas Mszyca then got on the board before the Anteaters closed out the 6-1 victory.
Mason Bui and Ruining Huang followed suit, taking down Owen Pearson/Jovan Pedroza, 6-4, on court three to secure the doubles point. Bui/Huang teamed up for the second time this season and first since March 13 when they topped their opponents from Navy.
Sohrob Amiryavari and Alex Guajardo held a 5-2 advantage at the second position when their match was abandoned.
The 'Eaters continued to roll through singles play without dropping a set. Rohan Sachdev was first off the court as he blanked Jovan Pedroza, 6-0, 6-0, at No. 6.
Tal Goodman then dispatched Lucas Ibarrado Suarez, 6-0, 6-1, at the top of the lineup to give UCI a 3-0 lead. It was Goodman's first match at No. 1 singles in his UC Irvine career.
Sohrob Amiryavari clinched the team win with a 6-4, 6-1 triumph over Ivaylo Simeonov at the fourth spot. Just seconds later, Ruining Huang sealed a 6-1, 6-2 victory over Owen Pearson at No. 3.
Greg Gamal picked up his ninth win of the year, defeating Michael Chang, 6-3, 6-2, on court five, before Max Fardanesh completed the sweep with a 6-4, 6-3 victory against Andrew Lavine at No. 2.
Gamal and Goodman remained perfect in Big West play where they are both 2-0 with a pair of straight-set victories.
