Men's tennis falls to Northern Arizona, 7-0

Flagstaff, AZ - The Mesa men's tennis team dropped its third consecutive match Friday, but for the third straight time it was a strong four-year school. In this case it was NCAA Division I Northern Arizona by a 7-0 margin. MCC is currently 1-3.

According to head coach Feroz Rast, "It was a great match today against NAU. We learned and competed. Playing a highly ranked DI team proved too much on this day but we will certainly learn and grow from this experience. Tomorrow we play New Mexico State and I know we will respond with a great effort."

Saturday's march against the Aggies will also be played in Flagstaff.
