Box Score Erie, Pa. - Facing one of the top 30 teams in the country, the Millersville University men's tennis team lost at Mercyhurst on Sunday afternoon, 6-1.

COACH HELSEL QUOTES
• "We played a great match against the No. 29 team in the country today. We played our best second and third doubles of the season. We're within the margin of error with these teams and that is fantastic. We're also learning how to dictate doubles and win close singles matches. We're a good team, much better than our record indicates."
• "Rodrigo is playing with more and more confidence every day. He is pretty dangerous when he's loose and aggressive."

NOTES
• Mercyhurst now leads the all-time series against the Marauders, 18-7.
• This also marks the Lakers' seventh-straight win over Millersville dating back to 2013.
