The Marquette tennis teams had a full schedule this weekend, as both teams were in action away from the Helfaer Rec Center. The men’s team traveled to Dallas to take on Texas-Arlington and Southern Methodist, while the women’s team traveled to Tampa, Fla., to take on South Florida.

On Friday, the men’s team opened the weekend with a 5-2 win against UTA, snapping a four-match losing streak. The Golden Eagles got off to a hot start, winning the No. 1 and No. 3 doubles matches. Dan Mamalat and Vukasin Teofanovic led the way in the No. 1 spot, winning the match 8-4, while No. 3 doubles team James Stark and Gleb Skylr took their match 8-6. The No. 2 team of Logon Collins and Cameron Tehrani were notched at 6 before the match was suspended.

In the singles matches, Mamalat and Teofanovic both won their matches, giving Marquette wins in the No. 1 and No. 2 spots. Mamalat won convincingly 6-2, 6-4, while Teofanovic had to battle back from a first set loss and went three sets, 6-7, 6-4, 7-6. Tehrani also picked up a win in the No. 4 spot, and David Packowitz rounded out the match with a win in the No. 6 spot. Mamalat was the only Marquette player not to go three sets in singles.

Saturday’s match against SMU went differently, with Marquette dropping the match 6-1. Marquette lost both the No. 1 and No. 3 doubles matches and was down 7-5 in the No. 2 slot, but the match was not completed. On the singles side, Teofanovic was the only player to win, winning the No. 2 match 6-3, 5-7, 10-2. With his three victories on the weekend, Teofanovic improved to 18-15 on the season in singles play and 10-8 in doubles.

On the women’s side, the team faced No. 53 USF on Saturday and lost 6-1, its sixth loss in seven matches. The Golden Eagles lost the No. 1 and No. 3 doubles matches, did not finish the No. 2 match and were tied at 6 before the match was called. Marquette dropped every singles match in the No. 1 to No. 5 slots, but Laia Hernandez Soler prevented the sweep in the No. 6 position. Hernandez Soler went three sets and won 6-3, 2-6, 7-5.

The men’s team (9-11) will finish off the season with four straight home games, hoping to put together another win streak heading into the Big East Championship. The Golden Eagles will start the home stand facing Cleveland State and Chicago State on Saturday. The women’s team (10-9) is facing Notre Dame at home today before an 11-day break. After the time off, Marquette will go on a two-game road trip to Louisville and Cincinnati before the Big East Championship.
