Match Recap: Men's Tennis | | Ethan McGarvey, Sports Information Director

2022 is Underway

The Biola men’s tennis team kicked off its 2022 season with an exhibition against NCAA DI UC Davis.

LA MIRADA --- The opening match of the 2022 campaign for the Biola Eagles came against an NCAA DI foe on Friday afternoon. Biola hosted the end-of-week affair, as the UC Davis Aggies defeated the Eagles, 6-1. 

The exhibition contest did not count towards the team's overall record and stats but you would not be able to tell by the atmosphere at the Biola Tennis Center. The Eagles were loud and proud, cheering each other on, while receiving a boost from the excited crowd of spectators.

The doubles portion of the day turned into a quick point for the Aggies. The No. 3 and No. 2 spots were first to finish, handing over the first point of the day to UC Davis. On court number one, Alexei Prokopchuk and Antonio Rosales Varona jumped out to an early lead. The duo was on top, 3-2, before falling in the lone set 6-4.

Rosales Varona returned to the court for his singles match in the No. 3 spot. The senior trailed following a 6-2 loss in the opening set. Not to be deterred, Rosales Varona bounced back with a win in set number two, 6-4, to even up the match at one set apiece. The deciding set favored the Ventura College transfer, who triumphed over his Aggie opponent, 6-3.

Prokopchuk was successful early in his match in the No. 2 spot for BU. The senior posted a 6-1 win in the first set, before falling in three sets. Callen Hein also went the distance in the singles competition, taking the second set but dropping the first and third. 

Hein saw his first action as an Eagle in the Friday competition. Freshman Tomas Gomez and graduate transfer, Carlos Solorzano, also hit the court for the first time in a Biola uniform on Friday.

The Eagles will see their first countable action of 2022 next Friday at Caltech at 4:00 pm.
