Vit Kalina and Andrii Zimnokh captured a doubles victory to pace the Tide in the loss
NORMAN, Okla. - The Alabama men's tennis team (9-11, 3-6 SEC) fell 4-0 to No. 17 Oklahoma (13-5, 5-4 SEC) Sunday.
The Tide was paced by doubles duo Vit Kalina and Andrii Zimnokh as the two captured their fifth consecutive win as a pairing.
From Head Coach George Husack
"Tough conditions and opponent today but those were facts we knew going into the match. We have experienced success this season when we compete from start to finish, no matter the conditions. Today there were moments in doubles and singles but overall as a team we didn't demonstrate a willingness to weather the storm. So it's back to practice and making sure we all show up next weekend and keep the Tide rising."
