GREENSBORO, N.C. - The Winston-Salem State University men's tennis team was unable to complete the season sweep of the Guilford College Quakers on Tuesday afternoon in Greensboro, N.C. as Guilford avenged an earlier-season loss to the Rams as they handed WSSU a 4-3 defeat at the Guilford College Tennis Center. 

The match would ultimately come down to the doubles point as the two teams split the six singles matches as Brian Coxton won for the Rams at first singles; Maximilian Glodde won at second singles; and Andrew Jones won at sixth singles as the Rams and Quakers headed to doubles action deadlocked at 3-3.
