WEST POINT, N.Y. – After falling to St. John's on the road, the Fairleigh Dickinson men's tennis team looked to bounce back at Army West Point on Saturday afternoon. In doubles, FDU reigned over the hosting Black Knights but could not replicate that in singles. The Knights would ultimately fall 4-2 to their opponent to fall 0-2 on the season.
 
To the credit of duos Jacob Whalley (Wirral, England/Calday Grange Grammar School)/Gonzalo Quintana (Guayaquil, Ecuador/Colegio Particular Pert) and Pedro Carvalho (Lisbon, Portugal/Secundaria do Restelo)/Diogo Garnel (Lisbon, Portugal/Carcavelos Tenis), the Knights secured 6-4 wins respectively over their foe. Army's lone win in pair play came from Grant Riechmann/Harrison McCormick who overcame Adam Chan (Hillingdon, England/ Langley Grammar School )/Kiran Mani (Brewster, N.Y./Laurel Springs) 6-3.
 
The Black Knights upped the competition in singles play. They managed to only drop one match though one went unfinished. To end, Army collected eight of 10 set wins to take the game.
 
FDU returns to action on February 28 to take on intrastate rival, NJIT at noon in an away contest.
