Tennis drops two in Florida The Men's Tennis team will limp into this weekend's PL tournament as it wrapped up its regular season with back-to-back losses to the 49th-ranked Miami Hurricanes and Florida Atlantic University on Wednesday. Miami beat the Eagles, 5-2, with senior Guillaume Tarraulle and sophomore Sebastian Proisy registering the only wins for the Eagles. Tarraulle won No. 3 singles by beating Miami's John Hoyes, and Proisy defeated P.J. Passalacqua. The other four Eagles who competed in singles, Tushar Garg, Jonah Fliegelman, Juancarlo Vasquez and Ruben Rivero, all lost in straight sets. The Eagles were also swept in doubles, losing all three matches played. AU traveled north to Boca Raton, Fla. Wednesday, where it was rudely greeted with a 5-1 loss to the Florida Atlantic Owls. Tarraulle and Fliegelman fought hard in their singles matches, with each winning the first set. However, clearly feeling the effects of back-to-back games, they both faced fatigue and lost in the third set. Senior Andreas Kulcsar scored AU's only victory, beating Kevin Obletz in straight sets, 6-3, 6-1. Proisy and Fliegelman also won doubles, defeating Gianfranco Dossena and Mauricio Paiz, 8-4, but they were the only doubles team to win. The Eagles started out strong after losing the doubles point. Kulcsar fought hard and the Eagles tied the match at 1 with Kulcsar's victory. His win was the last of the day for the Eagles. Now, the Eagles must rebound quickly as they return home to defend their Patriot League crown this weekend. They will host the PL's best starting this Saturday at 9 a.m. With a win, the Eagles will enter their second straight NCAA Tournament.
