LA JOLLA, Calif. -- The Sonoma State men's tennis team will have to wait a little bit longer for their first win of the season as 16th-ranked UC San Diego rolled to a 9-0 win at the Northview Courts in La Jolla.

It was the ninth consecutive loss for the Seawolves, who were ranked 9th in the latest ITA west region rankings.  UC San Diego, ranked 16th nationally and 2nd regionally, improves to 7-3.

The Seawolves' best chance for a point came at No. 3 doubles, where the team of Daniel Holz and Kevin To battled before falling 9-8 (7-3).  Christian Francisco and Sullivan Roche also put up a fight at No. 2 before the Tritons pulled away for an 8-5 win.

In singles play, Logan Liddell took eight games off his competitor at No. 3 singles, falling 6-4, 6-4.  

The Seawolves will head to Azusa on Saturday to take on Western New Mexico in neutral court action.
