Edinboro, Pa. - Coming off a win last night that didn't end until the early hours of this morning, an exhausted Millersville University men's tennis team battled tough in a 5-2 loss at Edinboro, the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) runner up last season, on Saturday afternoon.

The Marauders (2-10, 0-1 PSAC) drop their first road game of the spring season, while the Fighting Scots (9-4, 1-0 PSAC) remain undefeated at home with a record of 7-0.

MATCH HIGHLIGHTS
• Carlos Martinez-Lucas cruised to a 6-1, 6-2 victory a flight one singles. He is now 7-2 in singles play during the spring.
• Rodrigo Lorencin won a tightly-contested flight six singles match. He took the first set, 6-4, but dropped the second set, 6-3, before winning a very close third set, 11-9.
• Ben Fellman narrowly lost a nail-biting flight four singles match. He lost the first set on a 7-5 tiebreaker, but bounced back to win a 7-4 tiebreaker in the second set. Unfortunately, he fell just short in the third set, 10-5.

COACH HELSEL QUOTES
• "Hats off to Edinboro for holding us off today. I officially love this team. They don't quit and they don't go away. They fight. We lost a very close match today against the team that was the conference runner-up last year."
• "Carlos is really displaying the skill and quality I knew he had when he came here. He is blossoming as a player and is a great inspiration to his teammates."
• "Rodrigo played the best match I've seen him play in his young career. He really played loose with a lot of confidence today. He's improving every day."

NOTES
• This marks the Fighting Scots' seventh-straight win over Millersville dating back to 2012, but the Marauders still lead the all-time series, 17-11.

UP NEXT
• Millersville stays on the road and plays its third match in as many days when it faces defending PSAC Champion Mercyhurst on Sunday, March 24 at 1:30 p.m. The Lakers are an undefeated 9-0 at home this season.
