(SAN DIEGO) PLNU Men's Tennis pushed No. 10 Azusa Pacific to the end before falling by a narrow 4-3 margin on Saturday afternoon in a rematch of last season's NCAA West Regional.
 
Point Loma claimed the doubles point with 6-2 victories by Alexander Leischner and Elias Weeks at No. 1 an Andrew Suver and David Fisinger at No. 2.
 
However, APU won four singles matches to overcome its early deficit after doubles play.
 
Finn Kirschner (6-3, 6-1 at No. 6) and Fisinger (6-4, 6-4 at No. 5) were the two Sea Lions who were victorious in singles.
 
Point Loma (2-1 overall) returns to the courts on Friday at Claremont-Mudd-Scripps. Doubles play is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m.
