DENVER – MSU Denver took a 3-0 lead, but Hawaii-Hilo came from behind and won the final four singles matches for a 4-3 victory Friday over the 45th-ranked Roadrunners in men's tennis.
 
The teams will play again Saturday at 4 p.m. at Meadow Creek.
 
MSU Denver (4-6) took the doubles point with wins at No. 1 by Juho Kantola/Marco Jalalian 7-5 and at No. 2 by Alejandro Jimenez/Jeanloup Auzias 6-1.
