Men’s Tennis Drops 5-2 Road Match to FGCU

FORT MYERS, Fla. – Lipscomb men's tennis hit the road this weekend for a Sunday matchup against the FGCU Eagles. The Bisons were able to claim two singles matches, but the Eagles claimed the doubles point and the remaining singles matches in a 5-2 defeat of the Purple and Gold.
 
Alex Mesquida and Vikash Singh partnered up on court three while Jake Penny and Carlos Salas Tulla teamed up at the No. 2 spot. The duos were defeated 6-3 and 6-4 respectively, awarding FGCU the doubles point.
 
The Bisons started off singles play with a quick win as the Eagles were unable to present a player for the match on court six. FGCU's squad struck back with a trio of straight-set wins against the Bisons' top three, going 6-3, 6-3 against Maksim Bogdanovich, 6-2, 6-4 against Henrique Ushizima, and 6-3, 6-2 over Jake Penny on courts one, two, and three respectively.
 
Vikash Singh forced his opponent to a tiebreaker in the second set, finally succumbing to his FGCU foe after a drawn-out battle (6-2, 7-6(7-5)).
 
Carlos Salas Tulla brought home the final point of the match for Lipscomb in a three-set victory over his Eagles opponent. Salas Tulla won the first set 6-2, dropped the second 2-6, and staged an incredible comeback to claim the third set and the point on court five 6-1.
