DANBURY, Conn. - The Western Connecticut State University men's tennis team suffered its first home loss of the season when they fell to visiting non-conference foe Farmingdale State University, 9-0, on Monday evening at the Westside Courts. 

With the loss, the Wolves dropped to 5-8 overall, while the Rams improved to 7-5.

"We knew going into todays match that Farmingdale was a solid team. Despite our squad being down a starter, everyone stepped up and fought hard. They were just a bit better than us today," stated WestConn head coach Shawn Stillman following play.

Despite the loss, the Wolves received a solid effort from junior Jerry Narcisse (Norwalk, Conn.) and rookie Nicholas Peschier (Bridgeport, Conn.) in the No. 2 doubles slot. First-year player Caleb Harris (Guilford, Conn.) also displayed a relentless attitude coming up on the short end of his singles match.

WestConn will look to rebound when they travel to Little East Conference nemesis Rhode Island College on Wednesday at 3:30 p.m.
