TALLAHASSEE – The Florida State men's tennis team (6-4) fell to No. 8 Texas A&M (6-0) on Friday at the Indoor Tennis Courts by a 4-1 margin.
The match began with a competitive doubles point, with both teams trading serves early. Neither side pulled away until late, when the Seminoles started to gain the edge. Oren Ezerzer and Gabor Hornung got Florida State on the board first with a convincing 6-1 win on court three. Texas A&M answered on court two, knocking off Azariah Rusher and Erik Schiessl, 6-2. The point came down to court one, where both teams were tied at 4-4 before Florida State's Luis Felipe Miguel and Erik Schiessl stepped up to close out a 6-4 win to clinch the doubles point.
The Aggies struck first in singles play, evening the match with a straight-set win (6-3, 6-0) on court five. Texas A&M followed with its second point of the day as Krish Tyagi earned a 6-1, 6-3 victory on court six over Hornung to give the Aggies the lead. The momentum stayed with A&M on court three, where Schiessl fell 6-3, 6-3, pushing the advantage to 3-1 and setting up court four as the decider. Rusher and Tiago Pires battled through a tight opening set, with Rusher narrowly dropping it 7-5. Pires carried that momentum into the second set, cruising to a 6-0 win to seal the match.
The Seminoles will begin conference play on February 27 against Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana. Live stats and stream will be available through Seminoles.com
