LAS VEGAS -- The Wichita State men's tennis team, ranked No. 44 nationally, saw its six-match winning streak come to an end Wednesday afternoon with a 5-2 loss at UNLV at the Fertitta Tennis Complex.
Tomislav Gregurovic and Ilija Cuic collected the lone points for the Shockers with wins at Nos. 2 and 3 singles.
Gregurovic and Tin Ostojic (ITA No. 25) picked up a 6-2 win at No. 1 doubles, but UNLV (8-4) won on the other two courts to take the doubles point.
