Mustangs Dominate Army at George Lott Classic – Cal Poly Men’s Tennis

CHICAGO — The Cal Poly Mustangs saved some of their best tennis for the final day of the George Lott Classic, riding a wave of relentless singles performances to secure a decisive 4-1 victory over the Army Black Knights.

Resilience Fuels Cal Poly Victory

Once again, it was Luc Hoeijmans and Sean Kamyshev who provided the firepower, delivering standout wins to power the Mustangs past Army. Cal Poly lived up to its ITA billing throughout the weekend in the Windy City, claiming two of three matchups against a competitive field. But Sunday’s finale was a masterclass in resilience, as the Mustangs flipped the script after dropping the early doubles point. Army drew first blood by clinching two of the three doubles matches, but Cal Poly responded in singles play.

Hoeijmans Leads the Charge

Hoeijmans was surgical at the No. 1 spot, dispatching his opponent 6-0, 6-4, even as Jovan Lubbe followed suit at No. 2 with a composed 6-4, 6-2 triumph. Kamyshev battled through a three-set thriller at No. 4 (5-7, 6-4, 6-4), and Aaron Eliscu closed the door at No. 5 with a gritty 6-2, 7-6 decision. Those four singles wins erased Army’s early advantage and sealed the team victory.

Hoeijmans Blossoms as Key Player

Tulane transfer Luc Hoeijmans continues to blossom into Cal Poly’s most reliable force. Now holding an impressive 8-2 overall record and a 2-1 mark at the top singles spot, he’s quickly establishing himself as the steady hand guiding the Mustangs through tight competition.

Eliscu remains hot on his heels record-wise, improving to a team-second-best 7-2, while Kamyshev (5-4) and Lubbe (4-5) each added another notch to their win columns.

Doubles Bright Spot

The duo of Raz Haviv and Leo Matthysen provided a silver lining in doubles, taking down Army’s No. 3 pair to move to 2-1 as a tandem this season.

Looking Ahead

Now, with momentum in tow, the Mustangs build the long trek back to San Luis Obispo for a pivotal homestand at the Ronca Tennis Center. Friday’s matchup against San Diego State at 5 p.m. Will have full hospitality, followed by a Sunday morning clash with Pacific at 11 a.m. To close out the weekend.
