BLOOMINGTON, Ind. ––––– Indiana Men's Tennis dropped their first home match of the season on Friday to No. 23 Louisville, 4-0, at the IU Tennis Center.
The match got off to a quick start with some competitive doubles play. Louisville wrapped up No. 3 doubles quickly, but No. 1 and 2 doubles were back-and-forth battles.
Luc Boulier and Sam Landau had the No. 2 doubles match all knotted up at 4-4 before Louisville pulled away to win it, 6-4. Patrick Fletchall and Ilya Tiraspolsky's match at No. 1 doubles went unfinished but was tied at 5-5 before it was abandoned.
In singles, Louisville won at No. 6, 5 and 1 singles to secure the three points to win the overall match, 4-0.
After tonight's loss, Indiana is 8-2 on the season. The Hoosiers will be back in action on Sunday against Western Michigan at 11 a.m. for the final match of their eight-match homestand.
