PHILADELPHIA - Senior Francesco Mowrey posted a straight-set victory at No. 1 singles, but the La Salle University men's tennis team dropped a 6-1 decision to Duquesne in Atlantic 10 action on Sunday.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• Duquesne earned wins at No. 1 and No. 3 doubles to secure the match's first point. Sophomores Rogelio Gonzalez and Connor Merrill were tied at 5-5 in their match at No. 2, but play was stopped once the Dukes clinched the point.
• Mowrey secured a 6-3 win in the first set of his match against Chris Corrao, and finished out Corrao with a 6-4 triumph in the second.
• The Explorers had two other matches that were decided by razor-thin margins at No. 5 and No. 6.
• Merrill took the first set at No. 5, before Graham Conron bounced back to force a third and final set. 
• The third was decided with a super tiebreaker, as Conron was victorious, 10-8.
• At No. 6, sophomore Colin Lucius went to two straight tiebreakers but was edged by Joey Matthews.

UP NEXT

• La Salle takes a short trip to take on Saint Joseph's in an Atlantic 10 matchup on Tuesday, April 16, beginning at 2:30 p.m.
