After a tough loss to Cumberland on Wednesday, Georgetown Men's Tennis felt Friday's matchup against Indiana Wesleyan was one they could win. The day went the distance, but the Tigers were able to grind out a 4-3 win.

All eyes went to #5 and #6 singles to determine who would come out on top. Alex Straiger was up in #5 singles. After dropping the 1st set, 1-6, Straiger fought back to take the 2nd, 6-3. The match went to a single point tiebreak in the 3rd, which Straiger won to tie the overall score at 3-3. Stephen Taylor removed all Tiger doubt with a dominating 6-2, 6-3 win in #6 singles for the clinching point.
