Box Score OMAHA, Neb. - The Mavericks were at their best in today's home finale as they blanked Marquette 7-0 on Senior Day. This is the second time this year Omaha shutout an opponent, last doing so against Saint Louis back on February 8.
Omaha is now 9-9 on the season, while the Golden Eagles drop to 3-17.
Mikhail Korkunov was the team's lone senior honored today before the match. With two more wins today, the four-year Maverick now has 72 career singles and doubles wins.
"Today was an awesome day, being able to celebrate Mischa and to end the day with a 7-0 win," stated Head Coach Hunter Clark. "There couldn't be a better way to end the home match season."
Korkunov and
Bryan Kuntz got the day started with 6-4 comeback victory in the first doubles match, followed by another win from
Caleb Peterson and
Christian Trevey who recovered after letting a 4-1 lead slip away by finishing things off in tiebreakers 7-5.
Peterson would quickly claim the first win of the singles round as he made short work of his opponent 6-1, 6-2. Korkunov was next as he finished off his final career match at Miracle Hill with a 6-3, 7-5 win over Cyrus Ahmad.
Pavan Uppu would score the next win after coming back from two-point deficits in both sets en route to a 6-2, 6-4 win. Kuntz followed up with a 6-3, 6-3 victory.
The final two singles matches proved to be the closest of the day, as Trevey bounced back from a 6-4 loss in the opening set by taking set two 6-3 before finishing off Remi St-Laurent in a lengthy tiebreaker set that saw them tied eight times until Trevey finally pulled away in the end to win it 11-9.
Ethan Gaubert finished off the shutout in similar fashion as he came back from an opening set loss by cruising to a 6-3 win in the second set before coming back from a 4-1 deficit and closing out the match 10-7 in set three.
"The guys stepped up after a tough loss yesterday and we can't wait to get back on the court next week," added Clark.
