The Governors (2-6) knew they would face a tougher challenge after defeating Carson-Newman, 6-1, on Saturday. The Govs had never beaten the Cardinals (9-3) entering Sunday’s match.

The Cardinals gained all the momentum by sweeping the doubles matches to take a 1-0 lead into singles.

In singles, Almantas Ozelis pushed his opponent to a 7-5 scoreline in the second set, but the Cardinals gained the upper hand early on. Eventually, the Cardinals won every singles match to end up with the victory.

The Govs return to action next Saturday by taking on North Alabama on the road.
