Wayne State Men's Tennis Suffers First GLIAC Loss

Ferris State edges the Warriors 5-4 in Big Rapids


BIG RAPIDS, Mich. -- The Wayne State men's tennis squad (10-7, 4-1 GLIAC) was handed its first GLIAC loss by the region's sixth-ranked Ferris State. The Bulldogs edged the Warriors 5-4 in a hard-fought match Thursday afternoon.

The Warriors won two of three douibles matches to break out to a 2-1 lead. The teams of sophomores Aman Gill and Melvin Joseph at the top position and Michael FitzGerald and redshirt freshman Jason Chen at second won 8-6 and 8-5, respectively.

The Bulldogs' Laurent Galarneau tied the match at two with a win at first singles. At the second singles flight, sophomore Aman Gill's win over in three sets tied the at three. Unfortunately FSU (12-6, 7-1 GLIAC) went on to take three of the remaining four singles flights to seal the match. 

The Warriors play at Grand Valley on Friday afternoon.
