GARDEN CITY, NY – The St. Francis Brooklyn men's tennis team (1-10, 0-5) fell to the Rams of Fordham University (14-5, 4-2) on Sunday morning on Long Island as the two opened serve at Adelphi University. The Terriers could not snap a six-game skid, as they will look to do so next weekend at Fairfield. For the Rams, they have won their previous two matches against conference foe Saint Joseph's and a rescheduled match against Yeshiva.
The Terriers were unable to obtain a point in the match as they were outlasted in consecutive individual matchups. Freshman
Facundo Couso took his opponent to a three-set thriller but could not maintain serve down the stretch as he fell 10-8 in the third set tiebreaker. Second doubles
Daniel Blasco and
Grant Louis rallied against a tough Max Green and Finn Kemper but were edged at the last moment by a score of 7-5 in the one set decider.
