PHILADELPHIA - Senior Brian Balico picked up a three-set win at No. 2 singles for the La Salle men's tennis team on Wednesday, as the Explorers dropped an 8-1 decision to Chestnut Hill in a road non-conference match.

Balico earned a relatively easy 6-2, first-set win before dropping the second by a 6-3 margin. The third and deciding set tipped in the Paramus, N.J. native's favor as he earned a point for the Explorers.

The Griffins swept all three doubles and won five of the six singles matches en route to their fifth victory of the year.
