STANFORD, Calif. - San Diego State senior Juan Gomez, ranked 114th nationally, posted a straight-set victory at No. 3 singles for the Aztecs on Friday. Unfortunately for SDSU, that was the lone team point scored on this day.
The 44th-ranked Aztecs fell to 45th-ranked Oklahoma, 6-1, in the opening round of the 2010 ITA Division I Men's Team Indoor Qualifier hosted by the University of Stanford.
Gomez disposed of the Sooners' David Pultr, 6-3, 6-2, to improve to 2-0 in dual matches this season. The senior was victorious at No. 4 singles in SDSU's season-opening duel match against Texas Tech.
On Saturday, the Aztecs (0-2) will face 57th-ranked UNC Wilmington, which lost a 6-1 decision to 9th-ranked Stanford. The Aztecs and Seahawks will meet at 11 a.m. PT, followed by the Sooners and Cardinal at 2 p.m. PT.
