LA JOLLA, California – The Pepperdine men's tennis team stepped out of dual play this weekend to compete at the annual Pacific Coast Men's Doubles Championship hosted by the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club.
Throughout the weekend, the Waves went 9-4 in doubles following the completion of Thursday's dual win against Nebraska.
Two doubles pairs advanced to Saturday afternoon's round of 16, as
Daniel De Jonge (Vlissingen, Netherlands) and
Eero Vasa (Turku, Finland) along with
Corrado Summaria (Cosenza, Italy) and
Tim Zeitvogel (Baden-Baden, Germany) dropped Saturday afternoon contests as Pepperdine's longest-lasting representatives.
