WEST POINT, N.Y. - Senior captain Chris Albornoz picked up a 4-6, 6-4, 10-6 third singles win for Army's lone point of the day in a 6-1 loss to visiting Yale (2-1) at the Lichtenberg Tennis Center on Sunday. With the loss, Army's record now stands at 1-3.

After falling behind 4-6 after the first set, the West Babylon, N.Y. native surged back in the next two sets to claim his second consecutive singles win of the 2010 season (2-2).

Albornoz's match was the only match that went three sets, as Yale, the No. 70 ranked team in the country, swept the double competition and earned five singles points in straight sets to defeat the Black Knights.

After opening the season with a 6-1 win over Fairfield, Army (1-3) has lost each of its last three matches, and will look for its second win of the season next weekend. The Black Knights will host Connecticut and Stony Brook on Friday and Saturday, respectively.
