The William Jewell College men's tennis team rallied in singles, but that comeback fell short as the Cardinals dropped a 7-2 decision to Quincy University Saturday afternoon in Liberty, Mo. Jewell drops to 5-17 on the spring with the loss while the Hawks improve to 6-10 with the victory.
The Cardinals were swept in doubles to trail 3-0 going into singles play.
Caul Pearson posted a 6-3, 6-2 win at No. 4 singles and
Brian Wohlers won at No. 6 when his opponent retired, but Quincy claimed the other four singles matches.
Jewell will now close out the regular season with a weekend trip to St. Louis on Friday and Saturday April 22 and 23. The Cardinals will take on Missouri Baptist College on Friday and University of Missouri-St. Louis on Saturday.
