ORLANDO, FL (March 7) - The University of Connecticut men’s tennis team won half of the singles matches, but only one of three doubles matches and were ultimately edged by a score of 4-3 by Coe College. Coe is ranked 14th in the Division III standings. The loss drops UConn to 2-3 in dual matches for the season.
The Huskies won their matches in the No. 4, 5 and 6 positions, taking all three in straight sets. Their losses were not as convincing, with all three taking an extra set to be decided.
