WEST WINDSOR, N.J. - The two-time defending Northeast Conference champions handed the guard to #1 St. Francis Brooklyn Sunday as the #2 FDU men's tennis team fell to the Terriers in the NEC men's tennis final Sunday by a final team score of 4-2. After dropping the doubles point, FDU picked up a pair of victories by way of the injury retirements of two Terrier players at the third and fourth singles flights with attention turning to the fifth singles flight.
All three completed singles bouts went to three sets before the Terriers punched their ticket to the NCAA tournament at the sixth flight with Luis Foix Sotos topping
Younes Adnane 5-7, 6-3, 3-6 to clinch the competition.
All-Tournament Team honorees will be added once announced by the Northeast Conference.
