Vikings Fall in Season Opener

ROME, Ga. - Berry's men's tennis team earned a doubles win and a pair of singles wins, but it wasn't enough as the Vikings fell 6-3 to NAIA foe Warner Monday afternoon at the Rome Tennis Center at Berry College.

The first line win of the season for Berry (0-1) came at No. 3 doubles as Connor Murphy and Aiden Benoualid fought into a tiebreak before winning 8-7 (7-5). Warner would take the other two doubles lines to hold a 2-1 lead heading into singles play.

In singles, Noah Koch was rallied after dropping the first set to pull out a win in three (2-6, 6-3, 6-3) at the top line. In No. 4 singles, Jake Chapman made quick work of his opponent with a win in straight sets (6-2, 6-3). Two additional matches went three sets, but the Vikings were unable to pull out the victories that could have flipped the final result.

The Vikings will be back in action this Saturday against Christian Brothers University, with opening serve set for 3 p.m. The match is part of a four-match homestand to begin the season for BC.
