DAVIS, Calif. - A spirited and energetic crowd witnessed another classic dual between rivals UC Davis and Sacramento State in Saturday afternoon's Causeway match at the Marya Welch Tennis Center as a 3-3 overall score was snapped with a victory by the Hornets in the final match of the day to hand UC Davis the loss.
UC Davis falls to 4-6 with the result while Sacramento State improves to 2-5.
Led by Kyle Miller who earned a sweep of his matches, the Aggies captured the doubles point thanks to an 8-3 victory earned by Toki Sherbakov and Adam Levie. Miller and partner Adam Luba ended the doubles round with their 8-6 win to help the Aggies jump out to an early 1-0 overall lead.
Parker Kelley and Miller were the next to record match victories for the Aggies during the round of singles competition, both earned in straight-set fashion. Miller defeated Sacramento State's Sean Kolar 6-1, 6-3, with Miller dispatching Aliaksandr Malko 7-6, 6-4 to push UC Davis' advantage to a two-point cushion at 3-1.
Sacramento State would not let UC Davis capture its first Causeway Classic since the 2006 season, however, as the Hornets took the final three singles matchups to come-from-behind and escape with the win.
All three of those matches went the distance and needed a third set to declare a victor.
