Friday's match between the University of Washington and the University of Portland men's tennis teams must have caused mixed feelings in Portland coach and former UW No. 1 Aaron Gross, as he watched his former team vanquish his current one in a 7-0 sweep. Despite a few lapses, the Huskies showed that last week's victory in the Great Northwest Shootout was not a fluke as they won all singles and doubles matches without dropping a set to Portland.

In doubles, both Daniel Chu and Alex Slovic won their matches to move past former UW All-American Eric Drew on the career doubles win list. They also both moved up on the combined singles and doubles career list, with Chu now at ninth and Slovic tied for third.

"The records are definitely exciting," Slovic said. "They're not in my mind when I'm playing though — the less I think about it, the better."

Slovic, who plays left-handed, has been paired this year at No. 1 doubles with junior co-captain Andy Kuharszky, who plays right-handed, an advantageous tennis combination which allows the players to best utilize their strongest strokes. The ability to make adjustments according to the strengths of their partners is one of the reasons that both Chu and Slovic have had such doubles success in their UW careers.

"They have both learned to play well with different people, and that's really important in playing on a team," said coach Matt Anger.

The UW was fairly consistent in singles, although there were some rough patches. Kuharszky, playing at the No. 2 singles position for the second time in his college career, won the first set easily, but fell behind 1-5 in the second set. Despite this deficit, he remained calm, kept his serve-and-volley style consistent and won six straight games for a 6-1, 7-5 victory.

"We did some things well, but we missed some opportunities," Anger said. "They had us in trouble in some spots. We're going to have to learn to come out better in the beginning."

The Huskies' next opponent will be the University of Oregon on Friday at 4 p.m. at the Nordstrom Tennis Center.
