MOSCOW, Idaho - Idaho Men's tennis hit the road for two of their three final matches of the regular season, first for their final match in the gem state and then to a faceoff with the Mountain West.

On Saturday, the Vandals traveled to Pocatello to face in-state rival Idaho State, who had won three of their last four heading into the match in Reed Gym. The Vandals put up a valiant effort but ultimately came up short, falling 2-5 in for the second straight season to the Bengals. 

Following this, Idaho traveled out of the state for one final non-conference match of the year, taking on the Mountain West Conference's Utah State Aggies for the fourth year in a row. The Vandals had gotten the better of USU as recently as 2023, but the hosts in Logan came out on top, 7-0.
