TULSA, Okla. – Georgia Tech freshman Guillermo Gomez fell to Bassam Beidas of Pepperdine, 6-3, 7-6 (5), Wednesday afternoon in the first round of the 2008 NCAA Singles Championship at the Case Center on the University of Tulsa campus.

Gomez and Beidas would stay on serve throughout the second set before Beidas finished off the Tech freshman 7-5 in the tiebreaker to move on to the second round.
