BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Just two days after a long, strenuous match against Palm Beach Atlantic, Florida Tech men’s tennis was defeated by Flagler Sunday afternoon by a tally of 6-3.

Mattias Hartmann and Ricardo Corona were the lone team to escape with a win in doubles competition, taking down Hunter Hutcheson and Justen Louis 8-5.

However, the bottom part of the order performed well. Corona once again topped Louis 6-4, 6-4. In the No. 6 space, Wade Ball defeated John Bailey 7-5, 7-6.

Despite the final score, head coach Bill Macom was upbeat about the match.

“It was one of our best team performances in the past few years.”

The No. 1-4 spots failed to record a victory for the Panthers.
