BOLIVAR -- The Nevada Tigers lost three matches within three points and couldn't overcome the Bolivar Liberators in tennis action Thursday.

Spindler returned the favor at No. 2 singles, beating Holmes 8-2.

At No. 3 singles, Devin Ozkal lost a tightly contested match with Grant Haun, 9-8 (10-8).

The same score victimized Taylor Chapman at No. 5 singles, as he lost to Garret Shelenhamer.

At No. 6 singles, Ethan Holmes lost to Chad Bowlus 8-1.

In doubles play, Ozkal and Chapman took on Haun and Shelenhamer at No. 2, falling 8-2.
