LOS ANGELES, Calif. - The Gonzaga University men's tennis team took two of the three doubles matches from Loyola Marymount University but ended up on the losing end of a 5-2 decision in a West Coast Conference match Tuesday afternoon.

The Bulldogs (5-7) earned the first point of the match after the two Zag pairings of Steffan Feddersen/Conor Feeney and Roman Dojcak/Scott Sullivan each posted wins to give GU the early 1-0 lead.

LMU later rallied back, winning five of the six singles matches to pick up the WCC victory. Feddersen led the Bulldogs with his three-set win at number one singles.

Gonzaga continues its southern California trip with a match at the University of California - Irvine Tuesday.
