Wilmington, N.C. -- The UMKC men's tennis team dropped a 7-0 neutral site decision to Troy State on Thursday morning at the UNCW Tennis Center. The Kangaroos, who are now 6-4 this season, dropped the doubles point and all six singles matches on the day.
Troy opened the match by sweeping past UMKC in doubles. The Trojans' Mario Silva and Branko Weber opened the day with an 8-2 win at the one line over Patrick Smith and Bret Berryman. Troy then secured the point with 8-5 wins at the two and three positions.
The Trojans then followed with straight set victories in five of the six singles matches. UMKC's Patrick Smith played the most competitive match on the day, as he opened with a 6-2 win over Weber at the two line. Weber, however, rallied to take the second set, 6-1, before claiming the match via a 10-7 win in a super tiebreaker.
Dennis Schwarz also played a tight match for the 'Roos at the five line before dropping the decision to Guilherme Sahadi, 7-6, 6-2.
