DU takes five of six off Utah in singles; Mishiro/Rovai win in doubles over LMU

Box Score LOS ANGELES – The University of Denver men's tennis team finished the LMU Invite with six total wins on Sunday.

DU's four other singles victories also came in straight sets and with three more sets of 6-2 or better. Junior Raffaello Papajcik finished a perfect three-for-three in singles on the weekend while freshmen Samuel Rovai and Theo Coats each earned his second win of the tournament. Graduate student Connor Robb-Wilcox won his first singles match of the weekend.
 
The tournament ended with DU taking on host LMU in doubles and collecting a win from the team of Rovai and junior Ryom Mishiro.
