TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The Texas Tech men's tennis team suffered their first loss of the 2019 spring season with a 1-4 defeat to No. 19 Florida State in Tallahassee on Saturday.
Tech dropped the doubles point after suffering two losses on courts one and three to begin the day.

Artem Kapshuk, Tommy Mylnikov and Franco Ribero also picked up second set wins in their matches to keep the Red Raiders alive, before ultimately falling.
