BOISE, Idaho – The [55] University of Denver men's tennis team (7-6) got back in the win column with a 4-1 victory over Loyola Marymount in a neutral site match on Saturday afternoon at the Boas Tennis Center.

Nico Herrero Cuesta bumped back up to the top spot in the lineup, winning in straight-sets by a count of 6-3, 6-1. Herrero Cuesta is now 9-3 on the year.

Following a three-set win on Friday night, Summers won in straight sets on Saturday, limiting his opponent to just three games in a 6-1, 6-2 victory. Summers is now 9-4 in the campaign.
 
Peter Sallay closed out the match on court four with a 6-4, 6-4 victory. Sallay got back to .500 on the season with a 6-6 singles record.
