ALBUQUERQUE – The New Mexico State men's tennis team shined on Saturday in the second day of the Balloon Fiesta, winning 10-of-12 singles matches and took down New Mexico's No. 1 doubles team 6-0.
 
The pair of Cristofer Goncalves and freshman Luis Pliego Flores continued their tear on opponents as UNM's No. 1 doubles team fell victim 6-0. However, the Lobos exacted revenge with wins in flight No. 2 and No. 3 of doubles over the Aggies.
 
Goncalves refuses to lose in singles play as the junior reeled off another two wins on Saturday, bumping his win-streak to seven. Transfer Sergi Espias is going toe-to-toe with Goncalves as he notched his seventh-straight singles victory when he took down Arizona Christian's Brad Gleason 6-2, 6-1 in the third singles flight.
 
The Aggies notched victories in all flights for singles against Northern Arizona and Abilene Christian except for the No. 2 singles slot. NM State has now won 16-of-18 singles matches so far at the Balloon Fiesta.
 
The final day of play is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m.  once again with doubles action before teams move on to singles.
