OCEAN, N.J. ? Hosting its second home competition in three matches, the Monmouth University men's tennis were blanked by the Concordia Clippers, 7-0, on Thursday afternoon in Ocean, N.J. While the Blue and White picked up a victory at second doubles, all other matchups lost. MU's spring championship season record dropped to 2-10 while Concordia moved to 8-3 overall.

Posting the only win on the afternoon at second doubles, the duo of freshman Laurance Heads (Stockton-on-Tees, England/Repton School) and senior Vik Gupta (Princeton, N.J./Princeton Day) narrowly defeated the Clippers' team of Kim and Belhadj, 8-6. The Hawks dropped first and third doubles, to lose the overall doubles point, with the first doubles pair of senior Benjamin Evenden (Cresco, Pa./Ridgewood, N.J.) and freshman Ian Terpilowski (Mount Macedon, Victoria, Australia/Braemar College) coming closest to success, just being edged out, 8-6.

In singles action, the Hawks were kept off the scoreboard by the Clippers, marking only the second time all season Monmouth has not notched a point in singles action in a match.
