Men’s Tennis Falls To Franklin Pierce, 6-1

RINDGE, N.H. — The Endicott men's tennis team lost to NCAA Division II opponent Franklin Pierce, 6-1, in a non-conference matchup on Sunday evening.

Today's match was played in conjunction with NCAA Division I/II rules which only award one point for winning the doubles portion of the match (best of three equals one point). This is in contrast to NCAA Division III rules which award one point for each doubles flight won by a team. 

The lone point of the day for the Gulls came at No. 6 singles, via default.
