In three road matches in three days across the state of Louisiana, the Drake Men’s Tennis team struggled against ranked opponents, finishing 1-2 on the weekend and falling from 35th to 44th in the national rankings.
“It was a tough trip,” head coach Davidson Kozlowski said. “It wasn’t the outcomes we were looking for, what we expected and definitely not what we wanted.”
The weekend started with Friday’s loss at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge.
On paper, the two teams looked even entering the match. The Bulldogs were 5-3, the Tigers 3-3. LSU was ranked 32nd, Drake 35th.
