THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — Over the course of three days, the Pepperdine men's tennis team won 19 matches during the Sherwood Collegiate Cup, held at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, Calif. this past weekend.

"Thank you to Karen and her team at Sherwood for hosting a first-class event," Pepperdine Director of Tennis Adam Schaechterle said. We had multiple Waves produce standout performances. Lasse Poertner put together an 8-0 weekend and competed well. David Fix finished 7-1 and improved every day. I'm proud of Gustavo Ribeiro de Almeida for starting his collegiate career with three consecutive dominant singles wins."

The Waves competed against players from Cal, UCLA, SMU, New Mexico, Cal Poly and Utah State throughout the tournament, which was played in a hidden dual format. Lasse Poertner won Co-Champion honors after going 4-0 in singles. Throughout the weekend, Pepperdine went 8-1 in doubles play with three different pairings; the all-German team of David Fix and Poertner was the most effective of the bunch with a perfect 4-0 record.

In singles, freshman No. 90 Gustavo Ribeiro de Almeida was perfect in singles play, going 3-0 and 4-0, respectively. All of Ribeiro de Almeida's wins were dominant, as the No. 5 freshman in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Newcomer Rankings lived up to the hype in his straight-set wins. Elsewhere in singles, Fix went 3-1 while Hugh Winter picked up a three-set win against New Mexico's Jakub Pranchar on Friday.

All told, the Waves went 12-7 in singles play. None of Pepperdine's wins were against ranked opponents.

Pepperdine's next collegiate tournament will be the USTA SoCal Intercollegiate Championships, held in San Diego, Calif. from Oct. 9-12. All schedule updates can be found on the men's tennis team's schedule page at pepperdinewaves.com.
