LOS ANGELES, Calif. (April 13, 2009) – Oxy rounded out its tough non conference schedule with a dual match against division two Cal Poly Pomona.  The Tigers have played some outstanding tennis as of late, but that would not be enough to knock off the Broncos, who cruised to a seven to two victory.

The Broncos cruised in the opening rounds of doubles action, winning the first two dual matches, but the team of Mike Kuhn and Victor Sowers  broke through to hand Cal Poly Pomona its first loss of the day with an 8-6 win at the number three position. 

The win at doubles pulled Oxy within one heading into singles play.  That's as close at the Tigers would get today, as Pomona ripped off four straight wins to clinch the match.  Although Oxy kept battling, with Stefan Pastor at the number five position, coming back from an opening set loss (1-6) to take the match 6-4, 7-6.  Showing great heart after taking a bad loss in the opener. 

Next up for Occidental (4-9, 2-4) will be Cal Lutheran University at 7pm, on Tuesday, April 14^th, at the Burbank Tennis Center.
