Men's Tennis Downed At Marquette
Jan. 20, 2008 Milwaukee, Wis. - The UIC Men's Tennis team pushed Marquette in a trio of singles matches, but could not pull out the victory for the Flames, losing the dual match 7-0 on Saturday. After losing the doubles point, the second through fourth positions continued to play on, with Bastian Harbo taking Trent Hagan to three sets in a 6-7, 6-1, 10-3 loss at the No. 2 position. Junior Adriano Liccardo performed well for the second straight weekend, pushing his opponent to a tiebreaker in the first set, but was defeated in the following set. Eric Fey, only 12 wins away from the all-time career singles record at UIC, rebounded from an off-weekend against DePaul and Northwestern to take his opposition to a tie-breaker in the second set, but could not notch up a win. The Flames look for their first dual match win of the season in Bloomington, Illinois as they take to the road and face Illinois State next Saturday, the 26th at 1 p.m.
