TOLEDO, Ohio - The early season struggles continued for the Jags with a 5-2 loss to Toledo Sunday afternoon (Jan. 31).  The loss ended a three-game road trip for IUPUI that saw the Jags get swept by three Ohio teams.

The Rockets took the doubles point after Stephen Miller and Serjen Olmedo knocked off Patrick McAuley and Matt Moe 7-5. The No. 2 match featuring David Beasley and Akshay Verma was tied 6-6 but remained unfinished.

In singles matches the Rockets cruised to straight set victories in the first four matches to give Toledo the match win. IUPUI (2-6) got on the board after the match had been decided in the No. 5 and No. 6 matches that both went to three sets. 

Calero lost his first set before battling back and knocking off Miller 4-6, 6-2, 11-9, and in the No. 6 spot, McAuley also lost his first set but bounced back with a 4-6, 6-1, 10-7 win over Reid Teatsorth.
