POCATELLO, Idaho – The Idaho State men's tennis team earned a pair of convincing victories on Saturday at Reed Gym, sweeping Colorado Mesa University 7–0 in both matches of a doubleheader to open the home slate in Pocatello.

"The guys competed well and showed good energy throughout the day," said head coach Oliver Good. "I'd like to mention Jack Calleri, who played his first dual match here at Reed after a tough couple of years with injury. It's a great testament to his resolve and perseverance.
