TRUMBULL, Conn. – In non-conference action, the Sacred Heart University men's tennis team dropped a tight 4-3 decision against Boston University on Sunday night.
Both teams secured doubles win and the overall point came down to Matyas Vencl and Matthew Nagel in the second spot.

Vencl and Nagel were unable to hold on as the Terriers took the doubles point with a 7-6(3) win at second doubles.

Kevin Chao and Antoine Hernandez won in three sets at third and fourth singles to even the score at three-all. The match came down to senior Ayman Khan at fifth singles.
