Ferris State Tennis Teams Suffer Setbacks To Ranked Georgia College Teams
Big Rapids, Mich. - The Ferris State University men's and women's tennis teams came out on the short end of road decisions against Georgia College on Friday (March 14) as both squads continued spring action.
The nationally 37th-ranked Bulldog men's team fell to #18 Georgia College by a 8-1 score while the women's team dropped a 9-0 decision versus the 27th-ranked Bobcats at the Centennial Center Tennis facility.
On the men's side, the Bobcats took a 2-1 lead into singles play after capturing wins at both the first and third doubles spots by identical 8-3 scores. FSU's lone victory came at two doubles where Otto Keresztes and Will Huntington teamed up for an 8-4 triumph.
