Ferris State Men's Tennis Earns First Victory In Dual Action This Season

Box Score

Big Rapids, Mich. - The Ferris State University men's tennis team picked up its first dual win of the season on Saturday (Feb. 15) as FSU rolled to a 7-2 non-league triumph over Olivet Nazarene (Ill.) at the FSU Racquet and Fitness Center.

The Bulldogs swept the doubles round while building a 3-0 lead heading into singles competition and then managed to take four of the six singles flights.

Ferris State received wins in singles action from Laurent Galarneau at the top flight along with victories at the third, fourth and fifth spots in the lineup from Laurent Mailloux, Otto Keresztes and Jose Calero, respectively.

All six singles sets were determined in straight-sets and the closest doubles score came at the number two flight where Mailloux and Keresztes picked up an 8-5 triumph. Galarneau was also a double-winner on the day.

With the win, the Bulldogs now own a 1-1 mark to date this spring in dual action.
