MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- The Mercyhurst University men's tennis team began regular match play against Robert Morris Sunday, getting shut out 7-0 against the Colonials.

Travis Beck and Eric Drusko were the closest the Lakers had towards getting a win in singles play.  Beck fell in two sets, which included a marathon first set, while Drusko fell in extra sets.  Beck helped Mercyhurst to its lone win alongside teammate Robert Rizen in an 8-6 decision in the No. 1 doubles set, but Robert Morris took the other two sets to sweep the match.
