Mocs Dominate Singles in 4-1 Win Over Findlay

FSC rebounded from a doubles point loss for four singles flight wins for match victory

LAKELAND, Fla. – The Florida Southern College men's tennis team rebounded after a doubles point loss to beat the University of Findlay 4-1 Sunday afternoon at the Wynee Warden Tennis Center.
 
The Mocs (3-2, 1-1 SSC) had a nail-biting doubles competition but quickly responded with four court wins in singles to win the match and stay undefeated at home. The Oilers (1-6) outlasted FSC on the #3 doubles court but were unable to stop the Moccasins in singles in the loss. Two courts went unfinished with the match clinched.
 
The pairing of George Russell and Ryan Rajakar had a big 6-4 win after being behind for the early points. Chris Fok Kow and Mario Garoz teamed up for the #1 court and battled for each of their four points in a 6-4 loss. Court #3 decided the doubles point with an exciting back-and-forth flight. Bosko Boskovic and Matthew Hewitt went into a tiebreak, but their rally fell just short in a 7-6 (7-5) point to Findlay.
 
Florida Southern recovered in singles, beginning with Fok Kow's 6-2, 6-0 win at #2 court. Elliott Altman took on the #6 court and had a big 6-3, 6-1 win himself, followed by Garoz with back-to-back 6-3, 6-3 sets. The match win went to Hewitt in his first collegiate singles flight win in spring from a 7-5, 6-1 score. Courts 1 and 4 went unfinished with the match clinched to FSC. Russell had his court in a third set, as did Inaki Braun Simo in the unfinished flights.
 
The Mocs have a quick turnaround with a match against No. 15 Washburn University tomorrow, Feb. 26, set for a 3 p.m. start at the Wynee Warden Tennis Center.
