CORPUS CHRISTI – The University of Texas-Pan American Broncs men's tennis team fell to the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Islanders 1-6 on Wednesday at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center.
 
"I have heaps of respect for the way coach Steve Moore and his loyal assistants run the Islanders program," Broncs head coach Brandon Stokes said. "This is a tough part of the process but one we created, so we will continue to love the grind and continue to improve."
 
The Islanders (4-3) jumped out to the early advantage as they took the doubles point. After dropping the doubles match on court three, the Broncs battled on court two as the team of Miguel Alvarez-Hevia and Hector Ramirez kept it close with Kevin Bettendroffer and Guillaume Rauseo before falling 4-6.
 
In singles, the Islanders won on five of the six courts to clinch the match but the Broncs (2-4) got on the board with a win on court three. Freshman Koby Jansen dropped his first set to Ricardo Mayagoitia 4-6 but bounced back with a 6-4 win in the second set. Jansen then clinched the win with a 10-2 win in the tiebreaker.
 
"It was a significant effort and result by Koby at three singles," Stokes said. "He went toe-to-toe with an upperclassman who is a terrific competitor with numerous wins under his belt. The rest of the team can be inspired by Koby and use this as inspiration for the rest of the season."
 
The Broncs are back in action on February 28 when they face off against the University of Southern Mississippi in a neutral site match in Beaumont.
