ATLANTA, Ga. -- The No. 62 ranked Furman men's tennis team (9-12, 6-0 SoCon) had its eight match winning streak broken on Sunday when the 56th ranked Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets defeated the Paladins 5-2 at Bill Moore Tennis Center in Atlanta.

The Jackets fell behind early when the Paladins won the doubles point by claiming two of three matches in doubles competition. Furman's John Chesworth and James Cameron notched an 8-4 victory at No. 1 against Scott Schnugg and West Nott, while Chris Henderson and Allen Simmons won their match at the No. 3 slot 8-4 against Fabio Campos and Joao Menano.
