(SURPRISE, Ariz.) No. 4 seed PLNU Men's Tennis defeated No. 3 seed Hawai'i Pacific, 4-2, in the PacWest Third Place Match on Friday morning to finish third in the conference for the third time in four seasons.
 
HPU won the doubles point despite Finn Kirschner and Stanislas Noel winning 6-2 on Court No. 1, but the Sea Lions responded by winning four of the five singles matches that were completed in straight sets.
 
Paul Sobich cruised at No. 5, winning 6-3, 6-0, while Noel (No. 1 – 6-3, 6-2) and David Fisinger (No. 2 – 6-4, 6-2) also prevailed to give PLNU a 3-2 lead in the match.
