Rosales Varona Shines in Thursday Loss to No. 16 CUI

Rosales Varona notched a singles win, as the BU squad fell to No. 16 Concordia.

IRVINE, Calif. --- A dual match on Thursday featured a men's tennis battle between the Biola Eagles and No. 16 Concordia. CUI came out on top at home, 4-1, as Antonio Rosales Varona tacked on the solo point for BU.

Rosales Varona picked up his third-straight triumph with a straight-sets victory on Thursday. Posting scores of 6-4, 6-3, the sophomore cruised in the No. 3 spot.

Down 3-0 at the time, the Ecuador native put BU on the scoreboard, before CUI scored the clincher. Rosales Varona has found a home in the No. 3 flight, posting three-straight singles wins from that position, including victories in matches against No. 8 Azusa Pacific and No. 16 Concordia.

CUI built its three-point lead by landing the doubles point and scoring the first two singles matches. Following BU's singles win, the No. 1 spot provided the game-clincher for Concordia. The match between Alexei Prokopchuk and Yassine Smiej was a tough matchup that went the distance. In the third and final set, Smiej found the edge, winning 7-6.

BU is slated for a home match in its next competition, taking on Hawaii Pacific at 3:30 pm.
