(Portland) - San Francisco men's tennis won their third match in their last four outings with a 4-1 victory against Denver University on Sunday (Feb. 3) in the final round of the Portland State Invitational. The two teams played just singles and did not finish all six matches because USF had already secured the win.

USF number one Joachim Lien was impressive once again for the Dons (4-2). Jorgen Arnesen and Pablo Pers DeAlmeida held on for marathon matches at number two and three respectively.

San Francisco returns to tournament play this Friday through Sunday when they compete at the University of the Pacific Tournament in Stockton.
