Men's Tennis Southern Conference

Southern Conference Men's Tennis Results, Mar. 9

Sophomore Alex Fridzon captured a come-from-behind victory in singles play and the Terriers won the doubles point, but it was not enough as Wofford dropped a 5-2 decision to visiting Winthrop Wednesday afternoon at the Reeves Tennis Center.

Fridzon rallied to earn the Terriers' lone point in singles action. He posted a 3-6, 7-6, 10-5 triumph over Jorge Padilla at the No. 4 slot for his seventh-straight win and his 10th overall this season. The 10 victories are the most by a Wofford player this season.

In doubles play, the Terriers garnered a win at the No. 2 position by junior Chris Barlow and senior Brett Johnson. The pair knocked off Thiago Barbosa and Vinicius Bortolatto, 8-3.

Wofford also picked up an 8-2 triumph during the No. 3 doubles match by Jeff Muthig and Alec Wilson against Alejandro Portugal and Rodrigo Santos.

The Terriers fall to 4-11 with the loss, while the Eagles improve to 11-2.

With the nonconference slate complete, Wofford will finish its season with Southern Conference matches. The next contest on the slate is at 1 p.m. March 19 at College of Charleston.
