Men’s Tennis Falls to Georgia State 6-1

AIKEN, S.C. – The Coastal Carolina men's tennis team fell to Georgia State 6-1 in Sun Belt Conference play on Wednesday at a neutral site conference matchup in Aiken, S.C.

It was only the fourth match between the Chants and the Panthers in the two programs' histories with the last meeting coming back in 2019.

Coastal jumped out to an early 1-0 match lead with wins at the No. 1 and 2 doubles positions to open the match.

The duo of Bastien Huon and Daiki Tanabe defeated the team of Mihai Marinescu and Vazha Shubladze 6-3 at the No. 2 doubles spot while the team of Pyry Hyrkkonen and Diego Giraldo won 6-2 over the tandem of Harvey Maughan and Kevin Huynh at the No. 1 flight to earn the doubles point for the Chants.

The Chants fell in straight sets on courts No. 1, 2, 3, and 6 to start singles play as the Panthers clawed their way out to a 4-1 lead in the win.

On the No. 4 court, Giraldo pushed his match to three sets, as he bounced back from a second set 7-6 loss to take the match to a third set. However, in the third set, Georgia State's Marinescu held off Giraldo for the 1-0 third set win and match victory.

At No. 5, Tanabe battled Kevin Huynh for each point before suffering a 5-7, 6-3, 6-4 three-set loss to allow the Panthers to complete the singles sweep and pick up the 6-1 match win.

The Chanticleers (4-3) will return to action on March 30, as they will hit the road to face Elon in Elon, N.C. The match is set for a 2:30 p.m. ET start time.
