Boca Raton, FL - The Florida Atlantic University men's tennis team started its busiest stretch of the spring season with a 5-2 loss to the College of Charleston at Patch Reef Park in Boca Raton. The owls, now 7-4, will play six matches in a 13-day span.

FAU's victories came from the top two spots in the singles' lineup.
