SAN DIEGO - The No. 24 San Diego State men's tennis team defeated No. 48 Oklahoma, 4-3 at SDSU's East Courts on Wednesday.
The Aztecs (7-1 overall; 4-1 Western Athletic Conference) clinched the match when Kolo Rosenthal defeated the Sooners' Rick Warren, 1-6, 6-2, 6-1 at the number four position. The match was the first of the year at any position other than two for Rosenthal.
SDSU roared out of the gates, taking all three doubles matches from OU (8-9 overall; 1-3 Big 12). Singles proved to be much closer, however, as the Aztecs got a 7-5, 6-4 win from Alex Waske over Dusty Beard at one, a 6-3, 6-2 victory from Nguey Lay at three over Clinton Alford and Rosenthal's clincher at four.
SDSU returns to action tomorrow when it hosts No. 63 Yale at 1:30 p.m. at the East Courts.
