KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Picking back up in SEC play, the Vanderbilt men’s tennis team fell to No. 3 Tennessee 7-0 on Friday afternoon at Barksdale Stadium.
The third-ranked Volunteers (18-2, 7-1) gained an early advantage in the match over the Commodores (5-10, 0-7) with identical 6-3 wins at Nos. 1 and 2. Jeremie Casabon and Connor Robb-Wilcox battled back and forth at No. 3 but the match went unfinished at 4-3.
