EUGENE, Ore. – The Purdue men’s tennis team (4-9, 0-4 Big Ten) fell to No. 45 Oregon on the road.
The hard-fought effort saw the doubles point go the distance, coming down to Court 1 as the Boilermakers had the match tied 5-5 and 6-6 before ultimately falling in the tiebreak.
Meanwhile, Freshman Jacob Lee and sophomore Nour Fathalla picked up singles wins in the dual. Lee, playing at the No. 5 position, secured his fourth win in the last five matches, including a 3-1 record in league play, to improve to a 6-2 overall record this spring. Fathalla came back after dropping the first set to command the match, winning 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 to improve to a 6-6 (2-2 Big Ten) spring record.
