ORLANDO, FL – Landmark Conference action awaited the Susquehanna University men's tennis team Tuesday morning with a matchup against Scranton. Despite one doubles win and a comeback attempt with three singles victories, five decisive Royals wins gave the edge to Scranton in a 5-4 decision.

The three doubles team of Owen Miller and Danny Murphy picked up their second straight win, 8-3 over Steven Prosperino and Nathan Harrison, to go a perfect 2-0 down south.
