MALIBU, Calif. - Senior Alex Waske made his 2000 debut for the San Diego State men's tennis team at No. 7 Pepperdine, Friday, picking up a win in both singles and doubles. However, it wasn't enough as the Aztecs fell to 1-4 on the season after suffering a 5-2 non-conference dual match loss to the Waves. Pepperdine improved its record to 8-0 with the win.
Waske teamed with sophomore Travis Hasson for an 8-5 victory at No. 2 doubles to open the match but Pepperdine claimed the doubles point with wins at the Nos. 1 and 3 spots.
The Waves then posted wins in the Nos. 3, 5 and 6 positions to clinch the dual match victory. Waske's 6-7, 6-4, 6-2 singles win over No. 30 Robert Kendrick at No. 1 and Oliver Maiberger's 6-2, 6-2 victory over No. 59 Sebastien Graeff at No. 2 provided the Aztecs with their only points of the afternoon.
The Aztecs return to action on Sunday, Feb. 20 when San Diego State returns to Mountain West Conference play with a 11 a.m. match at SDSU's East Courts versus Air Force.
