COLUMBIA, S.C. – Senior Andrew Stubbs was victorious despite the Wofford men’s tennis team dropping its season opener, 6-1, to No. 56 ranked South Carolina Sunday morning in Columbia, S.C.

In singles action, Stubbs, a three-time All-Southern Conference pick, claimed the Terriers’ lone win of the match with a victory at the No. 1 position. After falling in the first set to the Gamecocks’ sophomore Diego Cubas, Stubbs notched a 3-6, 6-4, 10-7 come-from-behind victory.

Three Wofford players appeared in their debut matches against USC. Freshman Alan Donald, a Wilmington, N.C., native, competed in Wofford’s No. 5 singles slot, while classmate Michael Schecter, from Rome, Ga., battled in the No. 6 position. Charlotte, N.C.,’s Paul Bartholomy was the lone freshman to see doubles action as he played alongside senior Richard Cahi at No. 3.

The men’s team will travel to Boiling Springs, N.C., Wednesday for a 2 p.m. match against Gardner-Webb.
