The University of Portland men’s tennis team won its third straight match on Friday morning, recording a 6-1 win over the University of Montana Grizzlies (4-8, 1-1 Big Sky). The victory improves the Pilots’ record to 15-4 on the season.

The Pilots swept all three matches to earn the doubles point. The tandem of Matthew Loucks and James Redpath won a tiebreaker 10-4 in the No. 1 doubles position, improving its record to 15-1 on the season. In the No. 2 position, Colby Jager and Scott Kennel won 8-5, while Roman Borvanov and Alex Strom posted an 8-3 victory in the No. 3 position.

Portland then won five of the six singles matches. Borvanov won 6-0, 6-1 in the No. 2 position, and has now lost just one game in his last four sets. Redpath swept a tiebreaker in the second set against Montana’s Stuart Wing in the No. 3 position, improving his 2005 dual record to 17-2. Strom, Jager, and Kennel also won singles matches for the Pilots.

The Pilots’ 15 wins thus far this season represents the program’s highest total since the 1997 squad posted 19 victories.
