ASTON, Pa. – The Neumann University men's tennis team dropped its Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) opener versus Clarks Summit University on Tuesday afternoon, falling in a rain-shortened contest by a score of 5-1.

The match opened with Clarks Summit taking two of three contests in doubles competition. Neumann's lone victory of the match came at second doubles, where Evan King and Billy Swontek teamed up to win 8-6 in a hard-fought battle.

As the contest moved to singles competition, the Defenders took full control. Clarks Summit won at first, second and third singles to clinch the match before rain came in and caused the remaining matches to be unfinished.

Neumann (1-2) gets back in action tomorrow when the team heads to Cabrini University for another CSAC match-up. The contest is scheduled for 4:00 PM.
