Nevada set to face two ranked opponents this weekend

At No. 42 Loyola Marymount and No. 44 Cal Poly

RENO, Nev.  – After a perfect 6-0 record to begin the spring, the Nevada men's tennis team will be tested this weekend when it travels to play at No. 44 Cal Poly (6-3) on Saturday and No. 42 Loyola Marymount (4-2) on Sunday. Both teams are ranked by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association for the first time this season.

"After a great start to the season, we are excited to compete against two very good ranked teams," said head coach Sylvain Malroux. "Our team has been working hard and we are looking forward to this opportunity. This will be a very good challenge that will give us experience and make us better for the future."

This season, the Wolf Pack has been dominant in doubles matches, boasting a 14-3 record and earning all six doubles points in as many matches. Senior Robert Margitfalvi and freshman Jeremy Merville are a perfect 6-0 as a tandem this spring, with two victories on each of the three courts.

In singles, Nevada holds a 25-11 record, with Augustin Delahodde leading the way with five victories. Merville has yet to lose in singles this spring, sitting with a 4-0 record and victories on courts No. 1, 2 and 4.

The Mustangs are led by Josh Ortlip, who has accumulated a 7-2 singles record on court No. 1. In doubles, Cal Poly is 13-6 and are a combined 11-1 on court No. 2 and 3 this season.

After shutting out Mountain West foes San Diego State and UNLV earlier this season, LMU will host the Wolf Pack on 12 p.m. on Sunday. With a record of 16-9 in singles and 10-5 in singles, the Pack will be challenged by Lions to close out the road trip. Gabriel Diaz Freire has led LMU with a 4-2 singles record on court No. 1 and is 5-1 in doubles matches on court No. 2.

A livestream and live stats of the match at LMU will be available. Follow Nevada on Twitter @WolfPackMTennis to stay up-to-date on the team this weekend and throughout the season.
