Coach Billy Martin said the Bruins’ doubles lineup has yet to demonstrate success.
“(I’m) still trying to see what’s best for us at that third doubles position, and I’ve gotten a good look at three different potential teams for third doubles,” Martin said.
The Bruins opened their final Pac-12 campaign Friday afternoon.
But efforts against a ranked foe couldn’t be replicated for the second straight match.
No. 24 UCLA men’s tennis (7-5, 0-1 Pac-12) dropped a 4-2 decision to No.
Spencer Johnson held the key to the Bruins’ fate for the second time this season.
Only this time, familiarity was on his side.
“I felt a little calmer this time, and I was able to lock in just a little better than I thought versus the Pepperdine match and not be as tight as that one,” the freshman said.
Six different Bruins fell prey to the Lions on Monday afternoon.
UCLA men’s tennis (6-3) had its six-game winning streak snapped by No. 6 Columbia (10-2) in a 6-1 decision Monday afternoon.

Spencer Johnson’s final swat of the racket preserved the Bruins’ winning streak.
“I’m still amazed myself that we pulled that out,” coach Billy Martin said.
The Bruins took charge of the game in the second half, with 10 goals to the Anteaters’ two.
Coach Adam Wright said the team didn’t maximize its opportunities during the game’s first quarter.

The Bruins’ next match against the Cardinal will rely on speed.
At least, that’s how coach Adam Wright is approaching his team’s upcoming game against the reigning NCAA champions.
