3/25/2026 4:54:00 PM | Men's Tennis

WICHITA, Kan. – Tulsa men's tennis (11-10) bested No. 57 Wichita State (12-8) 4-2 on Wednesday in its highest-ranked win of the season.

The match marked just the second time this year TU rallied after dropping the doubles point to claim victory and was the first true away win for the Golden Hurricane, as they only match they previously won away from home was hosted at a neutral site.

In doubles, Tulsa struck first but the Shockers quickly recovered. Victor Tosetto and Gus Tettamble topped Alejandro Jacome and Fe Bockelmann Evans 6-2, but Wichita State answered with a matching 6-2 win over Nikita Volonski and Timothy Carlsson Seger. The deciding court proved tighter, but WSU edged Calum Jestin and Connor Doig 6-4 to secure the doubles point.

The Golden Hurricane bounced back in singles, with Takeshi Taco earning the first point in straight sets, 6-1, 6-4. Reiya Komagata followed with a 6-2, 6-2 win to give Tulsa a 2-1 lead, and Tosetto extended the advantage with a 6-4, 6-2 victory at the No. 6 position.

Wichita State responded as Amir Milushe defeated Doig 6-4, 2-6, 6-0, but Volonski ultimately clinched the match for Tulsa. The Sydney, Australia native rallied for a 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 win, giving him a team-high eight singles victories this season and marking his third clinching win of the year.

Carlsson Seger was locked in a tight battle with No. 98 Zaid Al Mashni before the match was abandoned at 7-5, 6(2)-6(3), with the Tulsa senior holding a one-set edge.

The Golden Hurricane return home Friday for a doubleheader at Michael D. Case Tennis Center against New Mexico State at 9:30 a.m. and 5 p.m.
