JMU Drops 6-1 Decision Against Penn State
2/25/2018 7:25:00 PM | Men's Tennis
RICHMOND, Va. – James Madison men's tennis fell 6-1 to Penn State on Sunday afternoon, snapping a four-match win-streak as the Dukes dropped to 7-2 on the spring (2-0 CAA).
The Dukes were swept by the Nittany Lions in doubles action. Heading into singles action, Penn State won five of six singles matches.
Senior Theophile Lanthiez earned the sole point for the Dukes in a battle against Zach Lieb, winning both sets in 7-6(4) tiebreakers at No. 6 singles.
QUOTING ASSISTANT COACH JASON SINKOFF
"Fifi played a great match, winning two tight sets against a good player. There were a lot of pressure points throughout the match, but he handled it as an experienced senior. We are excited to transition to outdoor season and look forward to traveling to Orlando next week."
UP NEXT
The Dukes travel to Florida for five contests over spring break, beginning with Coastal Carolina on Sunday, March 4 at 10 a.m. JMU will play Duquesne on March 6, Sacred Heart on March 7, followed by a doubleheader against Norfolk State and Wayne State on March 8.
