COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The Gonzaga University men's tennis team dropped a 7-0 decision to the University of Missouri-Kansas City in a match played at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo. Friday afternoon.

The Bulldog pairing of junior Roman Dojcak and freshman Scott Sullivan led the way for the Zags (1-1) with an 8-3 win in their number two doubles match. In the singles matchups, the Bulldog's battling efforts came up just short as three of the six singles contests went to a third set, including freshman Tomasz Falkowski's tie-breaker that went 12-10.
