CLEMSON, S.C. – The Wofford College men's tennis team played a doubleheader at Clemson University Sunday, losing the first match 4-3 and the second match 6-1.
 
The Terriers (3-4) were swept in all three doubles matches in the second match and lost five of the six singles matches. Junior Haris Poric provided the lone bright spot at the number one position, defeating Alex Favrot 6-2, 6-3 in singles to move to 5-1 on the season.
 
The Tigers (4-4) in the first match won two of the three doubles matches and then split the singles matches three and three with Wofford.

"I'm broken hearted with the score and at the same time, I couldn't be prouder of how hard we played today," said head coach Rod Ray. "After losing 4-3 in the morning, we had guys who fault as hard as they could in the afternoon against some very good players. Our guys showed that they are high character people and with this kind of effort, very good things will come in due time. We learned a lot today not only about competing, but also about ourselves. This is going to be a fun season."

 Freshman Alan Poric and junior Andrew Graham took the lone Terriers' victory in doubles in the first match. Playing from the three position, the duo defeated Daffra Sanon and Rafa Navas Robles 6-2. Junior Haris Poric and senior Parks Thompson teamed up at the one position with senior David Sklar and junior Trevor Gotkowski playing at the two spot.
 
In singles, Haris Poric suffered his first defeat of the season at the one position, dropping his first match to Alex Favrot 6-2, 7-5.
 
Gotkowski, Sklar and sophomore Jack Thomas all took singles victories for the Terriers in the first match. Gotkowski earned a victory over Arturo Pinazo 6-4, 4-6, 10-6 from the four position. Sklar defeated Brent Lett in straight sets 6-4, 6-2 at the five spot, while Thomas earned his first victory of the season from the six position 6-4, 7-6.
 
The Terriers are now 12-27 all-time against Clemson.
 
The first match was played indoors at the Clemson Indoor Tennis Center. The second match of the doubleheader shifted outdoors to the Hoke Sloan Tennis Center.
 
Wofford returns home for their next match, facing Spartanburg Methodist College Wednesday at 2:30 p.m.
