Duo Tom Dunlop and Michael Mitchell Picked Up a Major Win for the Zags
SPOKANE, Wash. – The Gonzaga men's tennis team finished the third day of competition and concluded its home Invitational on Sunday. After advancing through the singles and doubles brackets during the first two days of play, the Zags competed in two final-round matches.
The first finals match played by the Bulldogs was the Flight B doubles final, featuring Tom Dunlop and Michael Mitchell against their Montana State opponents, David Ismanescu and Oumar Diallo. In a close match that extended beyond the typical six games, the Zags clinched the win, 7-5.
In singles play, Michael Mitchell competed in the White Flight final against Oregon's Declan Galligan. Mitchell kept the first set close, but Galligan got the win, 7-5. In the second set, Galligan pulled away from Mitchell, 6-1, to take the match.
In the consolation and extra-match brackets, Noah Pawirodirjo and Diego Herrera dropped their consolation doubles final against Montana State in a close 6-7(5) battle. James Hutchinson and Tristan Hernandez played Idaho's Xavier Martin and Erik Vladimirov but lost, 2-6. Hernandez won an extra singles match against Whitworth in a straight-set contest, 6-1, 6-0. Pawirodirjo, Hutchinson, and Mitchell all fell in their extra singles matches.
Up Next: The Gonzaga Fall Invitational marks the end of the men's tennis fall season. Competition will resume in the spring, and the Schedule page will be updated as events are announced.
