KENNESAW, Ga.– The Kennesaw State men's tennis team dropped a hard-fought Atlantic Sun Conference showdown against Lipscomb at the Betty Siegel Student Center on the campus of KSU, as the Bisons took a 4-3 final on senior day.

The Owls (9-9) played a back-and-forth match with the Bisons under beautiful conditions.

Simon Pritchard  (6-4, 6-2), Sam Slade (6-4, 6-0) and Drew Wendel (6-2, 6-0) collected wins in their single matches, before Lipscomb broke a 3-3 deadlock battle with the final singles victory on the afternoon.

Lipscomb won the doubles point collecting a pair of wins. The Owls top doubles duo of Pritchard and Manuel Castellanos collected a 6-4 win to push their record to 10-0 on the season and 6-0 in conference play when paired together.
 
"I would like to thank Jorge for all his hard work," Director of Tennis Eduardo Rincon said. He has been through a lot in his four years in this program. He has worked his tail off every day in the classroom and on the court. It has been a true honor to coach him over the last three years. He has played some great doubles for us this year and has been a great role model for our younger guys."
