CLARKSTON, Georgia – For the second time in less than two weeks, the Troy women's tennis team nearly knocked off a top-50 Sun Belt opponent, this time falling to No. 46 Georgia State, 4-3, on the road at GSU's Clarkston campus on Friday.
Like last week against No. 43 South Alabama, Troy (11-6, 2-2) lost a tight doubles point and that proved to be the difference. The Panthers won easily at No. 1 doubles, but took a tight 7-5 decision at No. 3 to clinch the opening point. The other doubles match was tied at 6-6 when the point was clinched.
