Men’s Tennis Comeback Cut Short By Eagles, Fall 3-4 in First ASUN Match

FORT, MYERS, Fla. – Lipscomb men's tennis opened their 2024 conference season on Friday in Fort Myers, Fla. as they faced off with the FGCU Eagles. The lead changed hands throughout the match, but a late lead from the Eagles ended the Bisons' comeback hopes and FGCU took home the 4-3 win to end the day.
 
The Bisons opened the match scoring after they secured the doubles point. Sebastian Dominguez and Krzysztof Wetoszka claimed a 6-3 win on court one to put the Bisons in position to claim the doubles point before the Eagles tied things up with their 7-5 win on court two over Facundo Perlov and Carlos Salas Tulla.
 
Henrique Ushizima and Matheus Lima clinched the doubles point for the Purple and Gold just a few minutes later with a 7-5 win of their own on court three to give Lipscomb's squad the early lead.
 
FGCU's team answered the challenge in singles play, clocking two quick straight set wins on the top two courts over Wetoszka on court one (6-3, 6-4) and Ushizima on court two (6-3, 6-4) respectively to move into the lead.
 
Lima tied things up for the Bisons with his 1-6, 6-3, 6-3 comeback win on court four before Salas Tulla pushed the Bisons back into the lead with a gritty 6-0, 3-6, 7-5 win on court six, putting the Bisons into match-clinching territory with two more three-set battles under way.
 
The Eagles closed down hard on Lipscomb's remaining singles players in their respective third sets to tie the match and clinch the win in quick succession as Ushizima fell 4-6, 7-5, 3-6 to his opponent on court three just one minute before Perlov fell 3-6, 6-3, 1-6 on court five, ending the match in FGCU's favor.
