CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – Austin Peay State University freshman Tom Bolton earned his fourth singles win of the season; however, the Governors fell 6-1 against Chattanooga, Tuesday, at the UTC Tennis Complex.
Sophomore Frederic Schlossmann and senior Anton Damberg won their sixth match of the spring, defeating Chattanooga's Kerim Hyatt and Kaisei Kuroki 9-7 in the tiebreaker.
Despite Schlossmann and Damberg's doubles win, the Mocs claimed the match's first point after defeating the Govs No. 2 and No. 3 doubles teams.
In singles, the No. 1 and No. 6 matches were the first to go final with Schlossmann and freshman Hogan Stoker droping their matches. Needing just one more point to secure the outcome, UTC defeated Damberg on the No. 3 court.
Giovanni Becchis and Oliver Andersson's matches were the next to go final from the No. 5 and No. 2 positions, respectively.
Bolton secured the Govs' only point of the afternoon, defeating UTC's Jordan McClure in a pair of 7-5 sets.
The Governors return to OVC play with a 2 p.m., April 19 contest against Tennessee Tech in Cookeville, Tennessee.
