Ranked teams pose challenge for Pack

#70 Cal Poly 7, CSU-Pueblo 2; #18 UC-San Diego 8, CSU-Pueblo 1; #30 Sonoma State 8, CSU-Pueblo 1; #27 BYU-Hawaii 9, CSU-Pueblo 0

PHOENIX, Ariz. - CSU-Pueblo looked down the barrel of a gun Friday and Saturday, taking on four nationally-ranked teams at the Paseo Racquet Club in Phoenix, Ariz., and falling short.

The ThunderWolves were largely defeated by their opponents, but Beau Fresquez (Sr., Pueblo, Colo.) showed the most success on the roster during the Pack's guantlet of competition.  Fresquez was the only ThunderWolf to win a singles match, defeating Cal Poly's Joe Madoo 5-7, 6-2 (13-11). 

Fresquez also joined with doubles partner Ricardo Oaxaca (Jr., Puebla, Mexico), go to a respectable 2-2, losing only to Sonoma State's Connor Olson and Jordan Smith, and to BYU-Hawaii's Rong Ma and Agnel Peter, ranked as the 10th best doubles combo in the nation by the ITA. 

Overall, the Pack's competition may help them as they look for an RMAC Championship this season.  The Pack was picked to finish 2nd in the RMAC in the conference's preseason poll this season.

"It was great to play some ranked teams, and I think we really did play well," Pack coach Tom Durham said.  "We know what the best look like and now we can try to get there ourselves."
