CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The 35th-ranked Drake University men's tennis team fell to 40th-ranked NC State in its opening match of the ITA Kickoff Weekend, 4-2.
"This loss hurts because we did so many good things to put ourselves in position to win the match but didn't finish. For a while it looked like we would cruise to a comfortable win, but that's where a lot of credit needs to go to the NC State players and coaches. They remained calm and kept competing. Hats off to them for coming back and pulling out a hard fought win," said Drake head coach Davidson Kozlowski.
