LAKELAND, Fla. - The No. 1-ranked University of Indianapolis men's tennis team dropped their first contest of their Florida Spring Break tour, losing a 4-2 bout with the No. 38-ranked Florida Southern Mocs. The Greyhounds handled business in doubles, winning both matches convincingly, but tight losses at three of the singles courts secured the upset victory for the home team.

INS & OUTS
The No. 11 pair of Erwan Momo Andre and Louis Picaud were firing on all cyllinders out of the No. 2 spot, winning 6-1. It was just as easy for David Simeonov and Pedro Franca out of the No. 3 slot, winning 6-3. 

The Hounds extended their lead quickly in singles as Manuel Lanteri secured a straight-sets win at the No. 5 spot. The Mocs fired back hard, however, earning a straight-sets win of their own at court two over Simeonov. That win was the beginning of the end as it seemed as Florida Southern rattled off three more wins in a row, the clinch coming after a tough double-tiebreak victory at court four.

The Hounds will look to bounce back tomorrow in Florida as they head to face No. 3 Saint Leo in sunny Tampa, Fla. The two DII-powerhouses will square off at 11 a.m.
