SAN DIEGO - Less than a week after facing the No. 2 team in NCAA Division II, Hawaii Pacific, the No. 26 Sea Lions welcomed in No. 1 ranked Barry on Saturday, Mar. 5. PLNU put up a solid fight in doubles, with Martin Blaho and James Tenbroeck picking up a victory at No. 3 doubles, but the Bucs won 5-1 (Mar. 5).
 
That pair has now won back-to-back matches for the Sea Lions (3-9) on court 3. Today Blaho and Tenbroeck defeated Fabian Pronnet and Daniel Ventura 8-6. That was the only win for Point Loma on Saturday. The victory helped Barry return to the win column after they dropped a match to No. 2 HPU, 5-0, on Friday.
 
The PLNU men's tennis team will be back in action on Thursday, Mar. 10 when it hosts Palm Beach Atlantic at 11:00 a.m.
