DENVER, Colo. – The Gonzaga men's tennis team continued action at the Denver Colorado Cup on Saturday, taking on host Denver in the second day of competition.

In doubles, James Hutchinson and Oscar Rashed picked up a hard-fought win for the Bulldogs, edging Denver's Mishiro and Rovai 7-5. The pairs of Giovanni Branchetti and Jay Fairclough, and Tom Dunlop and Diego Herrera, each battled but fell in tight sets to the Pioneers.

In singles, Branchetti pushed his match to three sets, rallying to take the second before falling in a close 7-5 final set against Theo Coats. Fairclough, Dunlop, Rashed, Herrera, and Hutchinson also competed for the Zags against a strong Denver lineup, but ultimately fell in their matches.
