LA JOLLA, Calif. - The No. 26 Point Loma men's tennis team fell to crosstown rival and No. 21 UC San Diego 8-1 on Wednesday, Feb. 3.
 
Point Loma is now 0-2 on the season, while the Tritons improved to 2-2.
 
The Sea Lions' lone point came from No. 1 doubles, where Andre Staab and Daniel Milliken again showed they are going to be formidable foes for any doubles pair in the West Region. The duo, which entered the match ranked No. 25 nationally, doubled up Rodrigo Amaral and Axel Bouillin in win 8-4.
 
It was just not enough however, as the Tritons won the other eight matches to earn the victory.
