BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Austin Peay State University men's tennis team dropped a 4-0 decision to Florida Gulf Coast, Friday, at the Michael O. Buchanon Park Indoor Tennis Facility.
Due to time constraints, the match began with singles and was played to clinch.
Florida Gulf Coast claimed the match's first point following a 6-1, 6-0 victory against Sota Minami on the No. 1 court and extended its lead after defeating Tom Bolton, 6-1, 6-2 in No. 3 singles.
After falling in a first-set tiebreaker to FGCU's Marcelo Sepulveda, Giovanni Becchis dropped a narrow, 6-4 second set. The Eagles clinched the win with a 6-3, 6-2 win against Aeneas Schaub in No. 4 singles.
Austin Peay returns home for its final home match of the regular season in an 11 a.m., Saturday contest against Stetson at the Governors Tennis Courts.
