KALAMAZOO, Mich. – The Toledo men's tennis team was defeated 6-1 by Western Michigan on Sunday afternoon. With the loss, the Rockets drop to 9-10 on the season, while the Bronco's improve to 11-6.

Sophomore Luka Vitosevic recorded UT's only victory in the singles competition. Vitosevic defeated his Bronco opponent Matej Svjetlicic in a tough matchup at No. 3 singles. After dropping his first set, 6-3, he battled his way back to clinch the victory 7-6 (7-5), 10-7.

"We had some bright spots, but some bad spots as well," said head coach Al Wermer. "After the team match was decided, we had a gritty effort by our top three players."

UT will welcome Buffalo next Sunday to the Glass City for another MAC rivalry at 2:00 p.m.
