The Last Time Out
The Kennesaw State men's tennis team claimed Sunday's doubles point, but visiting Louisiana rallied for a 4-2 victory in a tightly-contested match at the Siegel Student Center Courts on the KSU campus.
 
The Owls (8-3) jumped out to an early 1-0 lead after posting the doubles point in dramatic fashion. The visitors drew first blood by winning the No. 3 doubles match 6-3, but KSU's No. 1 pairing of David Durham and Drew Wendel evened things with a 6-3 victory.
 
It all came down to the Owls' No. 2 tandem of Simon Pritchard and Jorge Wilton, who pulled even at 6-6 versus Coleman Wahlborg and Vlad Kramarov and then won convincingly 7-1 in the tiebreaker to stake claim on the all important doubles point.
