BOISE, Idaho - The Santa Clara University men's tennis team fell to No. 64 New Mexico 6-1 this evening at the Boas Indoor Tennis Center in Boise. Santa Clara is now 4-6 on the season.

Henry Gers and Brent Salazar lost 8-6 at the No. 1 doubles spot to SCU's Francisco Zepponi and Erich Chen and Divan Coetzee and Nick Ames dropped their No. 3 match to Federico Mattioli and Taylor Bedilion, giving the Broncos the doubles point. But the Lobos rallied on the singles side, capturing all six points to take the easy victory.
