LEXINGTON, Kentucky – No. 20 Sun Devil Men's Tennis (3-2) fell 4-0 in the Championship match of the Lexington Regional to No. 12 Kentucky to cap off ITA Indoor Kickoff Weekend. Despite winning their first four singles sets, the Sun Devils could not capitalize, and eventually dropped Saturday's match. 

The Sun Devils nearly earned the doubles point, but Mikey Anderson and Daniel Phillips fell in the tiebreak on court three, and ASU was down 1-0 with the start of singles.  

ASU came out strong winning their first sets in all four singles matches, as Kentucky's Hillary J. Boone Tennis Complex can only play four courts at once. Unfortunately the Sun Devils could not secure second-set victories, as courts 1-4 dropped the second set and eventually fell in their third sets making the 4-0 score final
