Box Score SAN DIEGO, Calif. — In a near perfect replica of their regular season match earlier this month, the UC Davis men's tennis team advanced to the Big West Championships semifinal with a 4-0 win over UC Riverside on Friday morning.

HOW IT HAPPENED
Mitchell Davis and Andrei Volgin picked up a 6-2 doubles set win to get the match off to a good start for the Aggies. Lucas Bollinger and Coleton Hootman finished the job on court three with a 6-2 win of their own, giving UC Davis a 1-0 advantage entering singles competition. 

Sam De Vries and Lucas Bollinger quickly won their matches in straight sets to put the Aggies ahead 3-0. De Vries won 6-1, 6-2, while Bollinger won 6-1, 6-3.

Senior Brett Brinkman ended the match with a 6-4, 6-2 win on court three. 

Remarkably, this match played out identically to the April 15 showdown against the Highlanders, where De Vries, Bollinger and Brinkman won their singles matches in straight sets, while the Davis-Volgin and Brinkman-Hootman duos cleaned up in doubles. 

UP NEXT
The Aggies face off against UC Irvine on Saturday at 9 a.m. in the Big West Championships semifinals. The winner of that match will advance to Sunday's championship match against No. 1 UC Santa Barbara or No. 4 Hawai'i.
