The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga men's tennis team dropped a 4-1 decision to Detroit at the Champions Club this afternoon. The Mocs won a singles and doubles match in the loss to the Titans.
Junior Michael Birnbaum and freshman Niklas Gerdes scored a 6-2 win at No. 3 doubles. They are now 2-1 in the spring, but played at No. 3 for the first time today.
After losing at No. 2, the Mocs still had a chance to win the doubles point when seniors Nic Wilson and Pucas Plesky were tied 5-5 at No. 1. However, they dropped the set 7-5 to give the opening lead to Detroit.
Freshman Simon Bustamante moved to 5-1 at No. 4 this spring with his three-set win today. He defeated Kacper Stelmaszak (6-3, 2-6, 6-4).
The Mocs are on the road tomorrow at Jacksonville State. Match time is 1:00 p.m. (E.S.T.) from Jacksonville, Ala.
