ATLANTA – The 18th-ranked Texas A&M men’s tennis team defeated Georgia Southern 6-1 in nonconference action Thursday at the Byers Tennis Complex.
“I really liked the energy we showed in doubles,” A&M coach Steve Denton said. “I want to thank Georgia Tech for allowing us to get some indoor time.”
A&M’s Raphael Perot, Giulio Perego and Tiago Pires won in both singles and doubles.
A&M (2-0) swept the doubles point and the only singles loss came with Georgia State’s Pol del Castillo beating Togan Tokac on the second line.
Georgia State fell to 0-4.
“Congrats to Texas A&M and thank you to Georgia Tech for allowing us to play this match at their facility today,” Georgia Southern head men’s tennis coach Andrew Goodwin said.
