2021 Spring Season: Due to Yolo County guidelines and game day protocols, fans are unable to attend home events.


DAVIS, Calif. – What started with a 6-2 win from Ivan Thamma and David Goulak in Saturday's non-conference match at the Marya Welch Tennis center continued when Mitchell Davis and Andrei Volgin recorded a 6-4 doubles victory. When Dariush Jalali and Arjith Jayaraman also posted a 6-4 result, UC Davis officially earned the doubles point and took an early 1-0 lead over San Francisco in its inaugural home match of the spring season.

Unfortunately for the Aggies, the Dons responded with a sweep of their own throughout singles play to win the dual, 6-1.

After competing in four matches since Feb. 12, men's tennis will have the next four days off before returning to its home courts on Thursday for a 1 p.m. contest versus Nevada, and will enter that event with an 0-4 overall record.

San Francisco will continue its season at 2-0.
