SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The UC Davis men's tennis team tied a program Division I mark with its sixth consecutive victory on Valentine's Day, as the No. 57-ranked Aggies defeated Causeway rival Sacramento State, 6-1, at the Rio Del Oro Racquet Club in Sacramento, Calif., on Sunday afternoon.
UC Davis improved to 9-3 overall, winning its third straight contest against the Hornets -- all by identical 6-1 scores. Sacramento State fell to 0-7 overall to start its spring.
Junior Bryce McKelvie clinched the match with a 6-2, 6-3, victory over Uli Vollath at No. 4 singles after the Aggies opened the day with a doubles point victory, winning his 10th consecutive match and improve to 10-1 in dual matches this season. Three of the team's five singles wins came in straight sets as junior and No. 81-ranked Alec Adamson defeated Kasparas Zemaitalis, 6-2, 6-0, and senior Brett Bacharach handed Joaquin Marquez a 6-1, 6-0, defeat en route to the win.
Adamson, McKelvie, and Tommy Lam were double winners on the day, the latter of whom posted a 7-6, 5-7, 10-8, victory over Christopher Clayton for his fifth straight win. Junior James Wade improved to 4-0 at the No. 1 spot, defeating Mikus Losbergs, 3-6, 6-2, 10-6, to round out the Aggie wins.
