Freshman Logan Pepperl scored the only point for the second straight match as the Colorado College men's tennis team dropped an 8-1 decision to Texas-Permian Basin Saturday afternoon at City Park in Pueblo, Colo.
 
The Falcons took all three doubles contests, including an exciting 9-8 victory by Cole Davis and Jordan Minjoot over Pepperl and fellow freshman Noah Forman at the top spot.
 
After winning the No. 5 singles match against Colorado Mesa on Friday, Pepperl won the No. 4 match, 6-1, 7-6(4), on Saturday. The Tigers nearly won a couple of other singles matches, but sophomore Daniel Holland lost 10-8 in a third-set supertiebreak at the No. 3 position, while freshman Clint Jung lost 11-9 in his supertiebreak at No. 5.
 
"We were much more competitive in doubles and had some terrific efforts in singles," head coach Anthony Weber said. "We'll likely be messing with the doubles lineups quite a bit this fall with so many new faces."
  
The Tigers return to action next weekend at the Metro State Invitational, Sept. 17-18.
