The Falcons fall to 3-4 this season while the Columbus State Cougars, members of the Peach Belt Conference and newly-crowned Intercollegiate Tennis Association National Indoor champions, move to 9-0.

The Falcons picked up an early 6-2 doubles victory from the team of juniors Georg Trompler and Tanguy David at line 2, but Columbus State won at lines 1 and 3 to secure the doubles point. Trompler and David are now 4-3 as a pair this season.
