The Sacramento State men?s tennis team finished their weekend road trip in Utah winning two of three matches.

The Hornets swept Weber State University 5-0 on Thursday in Ogden, lost 6-1 on Saturday against the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, and finished with a 4-1 victory against Utah State University in Logan, Utah.

The Hornets improved their record to 5-6 this season. Against Weber State, senior Fabio Jesus won his match in three sets against Philip Ivanov, while Nick Sheehan won his match against Daniel Abeaboer in three sets as well.

“Nick surprised me during the road trip,” Hornet coach Chris Evers said.

Senior Josh Price and freshman Peter Farkus won the only doubles match beating Daniel Salvato and Kenny Lindley, 9-8.Sherif Zaher won all three of his singles matches over the weekend, starting off with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Weber State?s Don Williams.

“(Zaher) got off to a slow start, but had a strong finish,” said Evers of Zaher?s match with Williams.

Zaher also came away with the Hornets only victory at Utah, coming away with a 6-0,0-6, 6-3 victory over Corrie Scheepers.

The Hornets quickly bounced back from the loss at Utah to take down Utah State. Sac State won all of their singles matches, but failed to record the doubles point.

In doubles, Jesus and Matt Jones lost to Jordan Butler and Steve Peterson in three sets.

In singles, Hornet Ali Abbou earned a come from behind victory, as Utah State?s Jason Trask took the first set 6-4 before Abbou came back to take the next two sets 6-4, 6-1 for the win.

Zaher finished his stellar weekend with a three set victory over Andy Madersbacher of Utah State.

“(Zaher) is a seasoned senior who knows what to do during tough matches,” Evers said.

Evers says he is “preparing (the team) for the Big Sky.” But after five consecutive road matches, Evers says all his team needs now is rest.

The Hornets play again on Saturday, March 23 when they battle rival Pacific in Stockton at 1 p.m.
