Senior co-captain Brandon Smith remained perfect in Southern Conference play, but it was not enough as the Wofford men's tennis team dropped a 6-1 decision at Furman Wednesday afternoon in Greenville, S.C.

Smith earned a 7-6, 6-3 victory against the Paladins' Brian Crook at the No. 5 position for the Terriers' lone point in the match.

Earlier, in doubles play, he teamed with Chris Barlow at the No. 2 slot to give Wofford an 8-5 triumph over Crook and Allen Simmons.

With his victory, Smith improved his season record to 16-3 overall and 9-0 in league action.

The Terriers drop to 8-11 overall and 1-8 in league play with the loss. Furman improves to 12-11 and 8-1 in the SoCon.

Wofford will conclude its regular season with a 1 p.m. contest Saturday versus Elon. Prior to the match against the Phoenix, which will take place at the Reeves Tennis Center, the program will honor its three seniors on this year's squad: Smith, Kent Ball and Jason Mengel.
