Xavier Men's Tennis Falls to EKU 4-3

Cincinnati, OH- Xavier men's tennis lost in a close 4-3 dual match against Eastern Kentucky in Richmond, Ky.

The Musketeers secured two singles play wins and two doubles play wins. Matt Bishop won his No. 2 match, 6-4, 6-3 and Jack Dykema won his No. 3 match, 6-4, 6-0. Bishop was successful in his No. 2 doubles match with Gabriel Araujo and Trent Smith and Connor LaFavre won their No. 3 match, 7-6. Xavier men's tennis is now 2-5 this season.

Head coach Doug Matthews saw positive aspects in doubles play this weekend, but is seeking more in singles play matches.

"Both matches were winnable this weekend," said Matthews. "We won two doubles this weekend, picking up 1-0 in each match. For singles, we don't have spots where we are at a lock position and we need everyone to play better on the same day."

The Xavier men's tennis team is back in action at Valparaiso on Feb. 17.
