NASHVILLE – Taking the court for the first time this spring, Austin Peay State University men's tennis team dropped its season-opening match to Lipscomb, 7-0, at the Richland Country Club in Nashville.
Lipscomb took an early advantage, as the Bisons knocked off Oliver Andersson and Gabriel Nolasco Pozo, 6-1, on the No. 2 doubles court. The No. 3 pairing of Lachlan Laner and Thiago Nogueira fell to the Bisons' Maksim Bogdanovich and Luka Stojanovic, 6-3, to earn Lipscomb the match's inaugural point.
The No. 1 and No. 4 singles matches were the first to go final, with Frederic Schlossmann and Nolasco Pozo falling to give the Bisons a 3-0 advantage. Lipscomb claimed the victory with a win on the No. 2 singles court, defeating Andersson to secure the win.
With the match already decided, Damberg and freshman Tom Bolton fell on the No. 3 and No. 5 courts, respectively. In the final match of the night, Hogan Stoker came up just short on the No. 6 court to close out the match.
