COLUMBUS, Ga. – The No. 6-ranked Lander men's tennis team dropped its first match of the season on Saturday as the Bearcats fell 7-0 at No. 1 Columbus State. 

Lander (9-1) threatened to take the doubles point after Tommaso Rossin and Matthew De Groot earned a 6-4 win at No. 2 doubles. However, the Cougars answered with a win at No. 1 to take the doubles point and did not drop a set in singles action to earn a sweep. 

The Bearcats return home on Friday to host Georgia College at 1:30 p.m.
