SAN ANTONIO, Texas – The Cleveland State men's tennis team opened its annual Spring Break Trip at UTSA Tuesday evening, falling to the Roadrunners, 6-1.

Although the Vikings dropped the doubles point, they still showed great effort at all three spots, including a 6-3 win from Colton Buffington and William Malm at No. 2 doubles. The No. 3 doubles team of Nico Mostardi and Benjamin Slade dropped a tightly contested 7-6 (3) match, while Mirko Radosevic and Andre Mick came up just shirt in a 7-5 decision at the top of the lineup.

Cleveland State's lone point came from Slade at No. 5 singles, as he picked up a 6-2, 7-6 (1) victory. The win improved Slade to 4-1 at the No. 5 spot this spring, while it also marked his second straight win and the third out of his last four matches.
