ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The 51st-ranked Brown Bears came from behind to down the 54th-ranked Lobos, 5-2, in Albuquerque this afternoon. New Mexico falls to 4-5 while Brown improves to 15-4.
The Lobos jumped out to a 1-0 lead after solidifying the doubles point. Senior Derek Boland and junior Eric Conklin easily handed Albuquerque native Nick Goldberg and partner Rich Moss an 8-3 loss at No. 3. Freshmen Max Jones and Kamil Pajkowski netted the doubles point with an 8-6 win over Saurabh Kohli and Eric Thomas at No. 2. Fourth-ranked seniors David Kowalski and Ryan Stotland were upset at No. 1 by 32nd-ranked Phil Charm and Adil Shamasdin, 9-7.
Brown fired back to take a 2-1 lead thanks to Charm’s 6-0, 6-2 win over Pajkowksi at No. 4 and Thomas’ 6-3, 6-2 win over 100th-ranked Kowalski at No. 3.
Freshman Max Jones even the score and remained undefeated in dual match singles, upsetting 76th-ranked Adil Shamasdin 6-2, 6-4 at No. 1. Jones, who took over the No. 1 spot on March 19 at Colorado, improves to 9-0 in dual match singles and 20-6 overall.
With the Lobos needing just two of the three matches remaining to win, they couldn’t pull it off. Conklin, Boland and Stotland all fell in three sets after winning the first one.
New Mexico will return to the court on Friday, April 1, hosting 75th-ranked Denver at 1 p.m.
