KENNESAW, Ga. — Kennesaw State men's tennis fell to Troy in a 4-2 decision at Betty Siegel Courts on Saturday afternoon.
"Troy played a great match today," said KSU associate head coach
Simon Pritchard. "We were a couple of points away from turning it at the end, but couldn't quite pull it off. We are a young team, so matches like this are very valuable to experience and learn from. The guys are ready to get straight back to work against Georgia State tomorrow."
The Trojans took the doubles point with wins on courts one (6-2) and two (6-4).
Kyvan Rietkerk and
Anthony Weingarten won their doubles match 6-3 over Troy's Hiiro Sakamoto and Yeray Andres Pastor.
Ben Hudson and
