Final Stats

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.- Three newcomers picked up wins for the Florida Atlantic University men's tennis team, but the Owls dropped the spring opener 4-3 to Furman on Saturday at the Florida State Spring Invitational.

Quotable

"We played well in the bottom of the line up but poorly in the top," FAU Head Coach Ricardo Gonzalez said. "As a team, we came up short. We had plenty of opportunities but didn't execute properly. We need to learn from this loss and bounce back tougher. We have great leadership in this team and we will make sure the team is ready to compete tomorrow. Hats off to Coach Jones and his team for a well deserved victory. They have a great team."
