STATESBORO, Ga. - A trip to South Carolina was unsuccessful for the Eagles as they tried to bring home a win against Furman. The Paladins took the match against the Blue and White, 6-1 this afternoon in Greenville.

The Men's Tennis team was unable to take the doubles point home for the team.Â
Stefano Di Aloy and
Martijn Kerssens put up a hard fight for the Eagles but it wasn't enough for the win. Di Aloy and Kerssens lost the doubles set to Drew Singerman and Henrik Atlevi, 5-4.Â
WHAT HEAD COACH SANDER KONING SAID
"We lost 1-6. We competed well, but came up short 2-3 points on a lot of courts and it makes the result look a lot more lopsided than what it truly was. Turning these matches around will be the next step for us to get ready for conference."
