LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Aztec senior All-American Oliver Maiberger won his singles and doubles matches but it was not enough as the 22nd-ranked Texas men's tennis team defeated 33rd-ranked San Diego State 4-1 at the USTA/ITA National Team Indoor Championship on Thursday in Louisville, Ky.
Maiberger, ranked 13th nationally in singles, defeated 19th-ranked Jean Simon 6-2, 6-2 for the Aztecs lone point on the day. The senior also teamed with Ryan Redondo to claim an 8-4 win over 21st-ranked Jean Simon and Jose Zarhi at number one doubles. Maiberger and Redono are ranked sixth nationally in doubles.
Despite the victory by the Aztecs in number one doubles, Texas was still able to claim the doubles point. The Longhorns received an 8-1 victory at number two doubles and claimed the point when 45th-ranked Ryan Haymond and Jenkin posted a 9-7 win over Daniel Jung and Gabe Coren at number three doubles.
The Aztecs drew even on Maiberger's victory at number one singles. But the Longhorns won three consecutive singles matches to win 4-1.
San Diego State will meet Arkansas in the 13th-place match tomorrow at 9 a.m. EST.
