LAKELAND, FL - Florida Southern College men's tennis won in dramatic fashion on Friday afternoon, finishing on the right side of a 4-3 contest against Ferris State. The Moccasins (6-8) held strong in the No. 1, 5 and 6 singles flights to defeat the Bulldogs (2-8) and rebound from a dissappointing loss against North Georgia on Wednesday.
