WEST POINT, N.Y. - The Army West Point men's tennis team dropped a non-conference affair to the Binghamton Bearcats, 5-2 Saturday afternoon from the Lichtenberg Tennis Center.
"I think we played extremely good doubles, but we just didn't come out with the intensity that we needed in the singles," said Associate Head Coach Randy Rowley. "Binghamton is a good team and it's always a good test for us, but we just came out a little flat. We got a huge match tomorrow [versus Clemson], so we've got to bounce back."
HOW IT HAPPENED
- The silver lining for the Black Knights this season has been doubles play, as Army clinched its third doubles point on the season.
- David Mitchell and David Gorshein opened with a 6-2 win at No. 3, before Alejandro Quiros and Grant Patterson clinched the opening point at No. 2.
- Singles play was all Bearcats, as Binghamton won at No.'s 6, 3, 4, and 2 in straight sets to clinch the four points needed for victory.
- Army continued to fight, as junior Anant Mundra battled to three sets at No. 5 before falling to Inigo Saez.
- Junior Myles Coniin earned the second point for the Black Knights with a three-set victory at No. 1.
